http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/03/20/putin-russian-billionaires-crimea-sanctions/6645141/Russian billionaires have a new order from Russian President Vladimir Putin: Pay your taxes.
With a wave of Western sanctions over the annexation of Crimea about to hit, Putin has called on billionaires to pay taxes at home.
