The broad fact is that post soviet Russia was the "wild, wild west" and under extreme pressure from various forces trying for dismemberment.

Vlad brought order and secured the country.

He is hated because he paid off Russia's debt, (no merry go round) did not allow foreigners to get control of its major assets and brought the powerful oligarchs - especially those with connection to the Globalists - under control.

Note: All hell broke loose (CNN and Newsweek) when he dismantled the "Darling of the West" Khodorkovsky.

Vlad inherited the Oligarch system and realized he had to work with it. However the flight of wealth is debilitating and exasperating; luckily for him the US congress and the UK govt. have come to his assistance in further coraling the oligarchs.

Oligarchs will now have to internalize their game and Russia is huge.
