> under the Putin regime a lack of property rights and the rule of law drive its innovators and entrepreneurs abroad

I imagine "property rights" means "property rights for all, not just for oligarchs" in the above. Similarly "rule of law".

Not even Oligarchs. Look at what is happening with Wild Berries. Russia is falling apart and dying and there is nothing anyone can do about it. It was never based on any kind of law and a mafia state. I predict it will be a repeat of 1998 where everyone will lose everything, savings, pensions, investments, etc. Afghanistan ushered in the fall of the USSR, Chechnya ushered in bankruptcy in 98 and the War they started in Ukraine will destroy the country entirely.

What a great time to be alive to watch an Empire of Evil and Murder destroyed.

And a new generation of oligarchs will rise. Rinse and repeat.
