Why does vladimir putin keep shutting down big companies?

Question

So currently he has Mechel (MTL) on an investigation with tax evasion, and some other thing.

Mechel is the biggest coal miner company in Russia, and Vladimir wants to get it on tax evasions and some other thing.

This is hurting not just the company, but all of the russian stock market.

What's his problem?

I heard he's done this before to other big name companies, why is he doing this?

Is he correct, because i dont think he is)?

Answer 1

he wants to stamp out corruption.

Answer 2

He wants to nationalize much of the industry and give his government more control. It almost seems like he's trying to bring back the old Soviet system little by little.

Answer 3

Companies need to pay taxes. The US government wouldn't just ignore it if Microsoft was evading taxes.

Vladimir is a great leader. He has brought Russia out of the dark ages and gave it new hope for a better future. Corruption  decreased while Vladimir was in power and the people love him.

Answer 4

if you dont pay you dont play.and he is right.he should be our P.M.for the U.K.
