Russian liberal opposition leaders, including ex-Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov, former deputy premier Boris Nemtsov, former lawmaker Vladimir Ryzhkov and former Deputy Energy Minister Vladimir Milov, presented a report they called “Putin. Corruption.” The report alleges that corruption has been booming in Russia since Putin’s first presidential term (starting in 2000). Among other things, the report says that a handful of Putin's friends and relatives — all relatively obscure until the 2000s — have accumulated fortunes with the help of state companies. The opposition leaders also decried high spending on maintaining 26 state residences which, according to the report, are at the President's and the Prime Minister's disposal.
