How could the property be worth roughly $330 million USD if it loses $120 million USD each year? I just read Pomerantsev's "Nothing Is True And Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia". It was revealing, but I don't think even that guy could explain the math. Those presses are probably using imported grapes and the vineyards are just for show. It takes many decades to develop a viable vineyard crop and Putin doesn't have decades. Those presses are producing something dark, but it isn't juice.

Doesn't Putin own a chunk of shares in Transneft? Maybe Badalov lacked enthusiasm in showing his "loyalty" to Putin.
