  The allegation is that it was more of a 'meet the new boss, same as the old boss' situation for him.

  Putin was a mid/upper KGB functionary.

  And that a very large number of the people who did very well put of the collapse of the USSR were former communist party officials who got in early on raiding the USSR’s corpse.

  Trump isn’t acting on behalf of the USSR in general, but he definitely is funded by and owes favours to older wealthy Russians.

  One older Russian, in particular.
