this story is not about the mafia. there is a real distinction between oligarchs and the mafia, oligarchs, there was a lot of violence going on and certainly they have interaction with the mafia but it was a separate institute. the idea that the godfather of the kremlin was a businessman who also had probably a division of weapons at his company, but to equate the oligarchy to the mafia is a different thing. vladimir putin at this point is the wealthiest man in russia. a lot of people say he is an oligarch at this point. those who succeeded, when you want something they pay for it. he has control of all of this wealth, but he is a president, a leader in a country that is built kind of like a pyramid right now. that is the way i would put it but i would make a big distinction between the mafia and oligarch. >> the research you did in this book, will he be president until his death? >> i have been getting asked that a lot. all these sanctions we are doing, will they force the oligarchs to seek out. people are looking at

the story is not about the mafia i think there is really a distinction between oligarchs and the mafia. these are men who built big businesses but they are two separate institutions. two equate the oligarchs to the mafia is a very different thing. vladimir putin at this point is one of the wealthiest man in russia. people say he is probably the ultimate oligarch at this point. the others are considered to be his cash register. when they want something like a olympics, olympics, they pay for it. >> he's a president and a leader and he has built it like a peer amid right now. i would make a distinction between the mafia and the oligarch. >> from the research you did on this book, do you think vladimir putin will be president until his death? >> great question. i been getting asked that a lot. people are like all these sanctions that were doing, will that forced the oligarchs to take out pollutant vladimir putin? vladimir putin is above the oligarchs now. it's not a question of whether the oligarch will take out vladimir putin, it's the other way around. he is incredibly popular leader. h

i don't -- this story is not about the mafia. think there's a real distinction between oligarchs and the mafia. oligarchs are men, businessmen who built these giant businesses in a place where there was a lot of violence going on and certainlied that had interaction with the mafia but it was very separate institution. the idea that the godfather of the kremlin -- he was a business man who also had probably a digs division in this company that would do things but to equate the al backers to the mavways very different thing. new putin at this point is definitely the wealthiest man in russia. a lot of people say that he is probably the ultimate oligarch. the oligarchs are considered his cash register. when he wants something like an olympics, they pay for it. so he has control of all of this wealth but he is a president and a leader in a country that is built kind of like a pyramid right now. so that's the way i would put it. i would make a big distinction between the mafia and the oligarchs. >> the research you've done on this book
