I cannot stress enough that all of this is happening to protect Putin's feelings, hurt by a man who has exposed his $1 billion Venetian palazzo with $1000 toilet paper holders. And also refused to die when poisoned by a chemical weapon. https://twitter.com/KevinRothrock/status/1352997657887825920?s=19
"Sergeant Vasilchikov, your orders are to erase these pro-freedom slogans scratched by the subversive agents on the wall frost."
"But, sir, won't it all melt off anyw..."
"Sergeant Vasilchikov, this is for the glory of Russia. Off you go!"
"Yes, sir!" https://twitter.com/Sandy_mustache/status/1352999443839279106?s=19

The town of Gelendzhik, near which Putin's super secret $1 billion palace is located. Navalny's investigation has uncovered the mansion, built with embezzled money, with all the gaudy, ostentatious details of its tasteless, ridiculous luxury. https://twitter.com/teamnavalny/status/1352970928003686400?s=19
Putin's Venetian palazzo, built by an Italian architect, features a full-size underground hockey arena, a full-size theater, an entire casino, thousands of acres of vineyards, handmade Italian couches worth more than a Moscow apartment and, famously, $1000 toilet brushes.
There is also a cathedral church, with a camouflage-tiled roof, and a tunnel blasted through a hillside for a wine-tasting-with-a-view room.
In a true supervillain touch, the estate was built, in part, with money meant for purchasing medical equipment for Russian hospitals.
