What happened to the families of Putin's friends from the famous Ozero cooperative?
The dacha consumer cooperative "Ozero" in the village of Solovyovka, Leningrad Region, was established in the fall of 1996, on November 11. It’s true that it’s a bit far from St. Petersburg – 120 km, but there really is a lake nearby, Komsomolskoye, Karelian pine trees all around, excellent air. Vladimir Putin’s dacha documents were then helped by his colleague at the mayor’s office, future First Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov, father-in-law of Anatoly Serdyukov, who still won’t go to jail.
