The elites turned a blind eye. The courts saw him as too costly to prosecute fully. But Putin was still a part of this and it's obvious how he benefited. I don't know why you're singling out "liberals".

    The elites turned a blind eye.

    They were enthusiastic accomplices.

    The courts saw him as too costly to prosecute fully.

    So they prosecuted the most broke and vulnerable, instead.

    Putin was still a part of this

    As a scapegoat, a boogeyman, and a useful idiot who could justify another generation of Western military industrial economic looting.
