Putin’s kleptocracy didn’t succeed (never had the intention either, as for any kleptocracy) in creating or facilitating of any high tech company with a global reach - like IBM, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Amazon etc.
Instead, Putin has been destroying businesses: Yukos (an independent oil company, though) or, more recently, effectively expropriated Yandex or VK. The founders of these businesses had to leave (flee) the country too.
Sounds like America, except we also depend on war for our economy
