Putin's Rumored Secret Palace

There was a revealing new post at the German public state-owned international broadcaster Deutsche Welle Akademie. Take a look at this excerpt:

A YouTube video uploaded by Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) claiming to reveal details about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s secret luxury villa has garnered 40 million views in just two days. According to the video — A Palace for Putin: The Story of the Biggest Bribe — the edifice has 18,000 square meters (195,000 square feet) of living space and cost 100 billion rubles (€1.12 billion/$1.4 billion) to build.

FBK reports that state-owned companies Rosneft and Transneft — respectively run by Putin allies Igor Sechin and Nikolay Tokarev — financed the vast construction project.
