Several posts on this topic were published on the Twitter account of the opposition politician.

Navalny believes that "so far only a small number of oligarchs and corruptors have fallen under the sanctions."

He notes in this regard that in the Forbes list of 200 positions, only 46 people were affected by the sanctions of the European Union, the United States or Great Britain: "In my opinion, this is not very similar to a declared war against Putin's oligarchs."

“Once it comes down to a specific job, everything crumbles to dust in the bowels of the executive branch.

Just nothing happens.

There are loud statements by the leaders, but the decisions will be delayed somewhere," the politician writes.

As examples, Navalny cites, in particular, the head of "Gazprom" Alexei Miller, who did not fall under EU sanctions, and Roman Abramovich, who did not fall under US sanctions.

In addition, he draws attention to the apartment of Dmitriy Piaskov's daughter Lizaveta in Paris, which she transferred to her mother, and to Dmitriy Medvedev's yacht, which was transferred to a random company, as examples of evasion of sanctions by means of re-registration of property to relatives or nominal companies.

At the same time, the oppositionist also mentions Vladimir Patanin.

"Number two in the Forbes list is not under sanctions.

Oligarch Patanin praises Putin publicly.

He bravadoes that the sanctions have nothing to do with him," writes Alyaksei Navalny about the president of Interros and the head of the board of Nornickel.

It is known that at the end of June, Great Britain introduced sanctions against the billionaire with the wording that "Patanin continues to accumulate wealth by supporting Putin's regime, acquiring Rosbank and shares in Tinkoff Bank after Ruska's invasion of Ukraine."

• After Russia attacked Ukraine at the end of February, the United States, Great Britain, the European Union and a number of other countries introduced several packages of sanctions against the Russian economy, financial system, large companies, oligarchs, politicians, including President Vladimir Putin, as well as members of his family and immediate environment.

• Restrictions were imposed on expensive real estate, superyachts and airplanes owned by several billionaires.

  Russia imposes sanctions in response, emphasizing that the "military special operation" in Ukraine, as Moscow calls the invasion, is related to the protection of national interests.

• Alexei Navalny has been in prison since he returned to Russia from Germany, where he was treated for Novichok poisoning.

  He was first replaced with a real suspended sentence in the "Yves Rochet" case, and then tried in the case of defamation of a veteran (sentenced to a fine) and in the case of fraud and insulting a judge (sentenced to 9 years in a penal colony).

• Structures created by politicians in Russia (Navalny's headquarters and the Anti-Corruption Foundation) are recognized as extremist organizations, and their associates are detained and tried retroactively.
