“In our discussions about the future of Russia, I did not always agree with him. Chubais was unpopular in Russia for his role in helping push through the notorious “loans-for-shares” privatization deal in the mid-1990s, which spawned Russia’s class of ultrarich oligarchs. But whether he left or did not leave, that’s his business,” Peskov told the Interfax news agency. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Chubais had resigned but did not confirm he had left the country. Last week, Chubais, 66, posted an oblique post on Facebook to commemorate Gaidar’s death in 2009. But his departure underscores the alarm felt by many in Russia’s comfortable urban classes at Putin’s war and his mounting witch-hunt for traitors and “fifth columnists.”

Kremlin says 66-year-old reformer has resigned, but declines to confirm reports he has left Russia.

"Anatoly Chubais left Russia solely to save his own skin and and his own money," Kira Yarmysh said in a tweet. Putin went on to become head of Russia's spy agency and prime minister, before succeeding Yeltsin as president in 2000. Newspaper Kommersant published a blurry photo of Chubais in Istanbul withdrawing money from an ATM. He hung up on a reporter for Forbes Russia who called him for comment.
