Are the properties renovated for State use or are they personal.
Russia had undergone a process of decay over many years, by renovating they have created numerous jobs, perhaps something we should open our eyes to and learn. The Volga Cliff resort employs 3,000 staff.

Is it better to continue in decay so that Putin doesn’t take residence in those properties?

The money at the disposal of an old friend of Putin, a member of the cooperative “Lake” Nikolai Shamalov came from “a combination of sources, such as corruption, theft and bribes”.

18. The Guest House
A palace near Paris, France. The President spent 30 million euros on the construction of this complex. The French people who had been inside this castle have compared it to Versailles.

19. ABC
This residence for “close” guests is located in an area south of Moscow (Teplostanskoy travel, 1a). The residence had previously been a secret property belonging to the FSB.

20. Moonglade
A VIP-resort on Mount Fisht in the Republic of Adygea. According to unofficial sources, this is another on of “Putin’s cottages.” Interestingly, construction in the same area of the “Western Caucasuses” is outlawed and has been announced as a World Natural Heritage region.
The ski lodge was built under the guise of a so called scientific “Biosphere” cetner, which will apparently maintain the nature reserve. This opulent Presidential getaway includes four impressive chalets, 3 (three!) helipads, communications antennas, a hangar, four “snowcats” (to level the ski slopes) as well as both small and large cable cars.
