Yup, as Sergei Polonskiy once said, all Russian businessmen are ready to leave the country on a short notice. Government can seize your business at any time, Promsvyazbank is the most recent example.
While I have never lived under African dictator, I would argue that Putin is way more capable of actually running the country.
