From the FBI vault. Not sure exactly how this fits in but I feel it is relevant somehow. It seems they were worried about someone trying to off him. Dunno.

Wife of Putin’s Number Two Man Gets Rich Quick

Marina Sechina was once married to the second-most powerful man in Russia. Her ex-husband, Igor Sechin, has been a devoted subordinate to Russian President Vladimir Putin for more than 25 years.

 

Since asset declarations began in 2008, Sechina had no personal income, no significant assets, and was not involved in any businesses until 2013. Now things have changed.

 

Sechin is important in Russia. When Putin became vice-mayor of St. Petersburg in 1991, Sechin was his chief of staff, and when Putin left St. Petersburg for Moscow in 1996, Sechin was quick to follow. “When I moved to Moscow, [Sechin] asked [me] to take him with me. And I took him,” Putin wrote in his autobiography, First Person.

 

Since then, Sechin has continued to follow every step Putin took up the ladder to power. From 2004 until 2008, he was deputy chief of Putin’s administration. When Putin headed the government in 2008, Sechin was appointed deputy prime minister. In 2012, he was appointed head of the oil giant Rosneft.

 

Sechin is not known as a friendly, jovial character. In fact, his ruthless, icy demeanor and ties to the secret services have earned him the media nickname “the Darth Vader of Russian politics.” Yet in modern Russia, his name can open many doors and solve many problems.

Meet the Russians in the ‘Paradise Papers’-

4:15 am, November 6, 2017

On November 5, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) published its second major project on offshore companies. Titled “Paradise Papers: Secrets of the Global Elite,” the new report contains data pulled from state registries on dozens of exotic islands. Meduza summarizes what we learned about Russians from the ICIJ’s new work.

 

As with the “Panama Papers,” this new offshore data was received by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, which refuses to reveal any details about its source. It’s also unknown when the documents were handed over, and how long the newspaper spent reviewing the information. In total, journalists were given access to 13.4 million documents from two companies: the Bermuda-based firm Appleby and the Singapore-based company Asiacity Trust. The archives go back more than 65 years, with records as old as 1950 and nothing newer than 2016. In addition to these companies’ internal information, the Paradise Papers also contain corporate registry data from 19 different states.

 

The Paradise Papers involved the work of 381 journalists from 96 different publications in 67 different countries. It’s still unknown if the archive itself will be made available to the public, as the Panama Papers were.

Running dog

Running dog is a pejorative term for an unprincipled person who helps or flatters those more powerful and often evil. It is a literal translation of the Chinese pejorative 走狗 (pinyin: zǒu gǒu), meaning a yes-man or lackey, and is derived from the tendency of dogs to follow after humans in hopes of receiving food scraps. Historian Yuan-tsung Chen notes that "In the West, a dog is a man's best friend; but in China, dogs are abject creatures. In Chinese, no idiomatic expression was more demeaning than the term 'running dogs.'"[1]

 

The term "imperialist running dog" (diguozhuyi de zougou) is used by Mao Zedong to refer to allies of counterrevolutionary imperial forces.[2] Historian Chang-tai Hung suggests the term was used to invoke negative mental imagery; "The image of…a running dog parallels that of the United States as a wolf. Both bestial representations provide convenient and familiar symbols that political artists can target, but they also validate the use of violence since the annihilation of beasts is justified. …[The representations of enemies as beasts such as running dogs or rats] call to mind repulsive creatures that inflict damage on the nation."[3]

 

In 1950 an article in The China Weekly Review gave the definition "A running-dog is a lackey, one who aids and accompanies in the hope of being treated kindly and perhaps being allowed to share in the spoils."[4]

 

In 1953 a Saturday Evening Post article offered a definition for tso kou ("running dog") and kou t'ui tee ("dog's hips"), saying "A 'running dog' was a person who follows obediently after the person whose dog he is, a fellow traveler; a 'dog's hips' was simply an enthusiastic running dog, who exercises his hips while running errands for his master."[5]

 

Historian James Reeve Pusey captures some of the power of the idiom when telling of Lu Xun's reaction to seeing people in power mistreat others with the idiom "the weak are the meat of the strong".[6] Lu's anger spilt over to the point of having a reaction even against those calling for resistance without vengeance "For the loudest of such people, he thought, were running dogs of the people-eaters, fed at least on scraps of human flesh."[6]

 

The phrase running dog has been in use since the Qing Dynasty, and was often used in the 20th century by communists to refer to client states of the United States and other capitalist powers. Its first recorded use in English was in Edgar Snow's 1937 reportage Red Star Over China[citation needed] :

 

"Vanguards of young Moslems were … urging the overthrow of the 'Kuomintang running-dog'".[7]

 

The term is used as the name of a mission referencing its implied meaning in the 2004 action-adventure video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[8]
