This is one of the most interesting and rather unknown "contribution" of Russia and Putin himself to drugs sales in Europe. At the time when he was associate of Anatoly Sobchak, Mayor of Saint Petersburg he was responsible for making sure that some ships from South America are "overlooked" by the authorities. In this way Saint Petersburg become one of the central points of drugs smuggling, Putin, Sobchak became one of the most powerfull drug lords. Years later Sobchak was murdered by Putin (obviously official investigation led to usual heart attack conclusion) since he knew too much about Putin businesses in his "Petersburg era".
