He is considered the mastermind behind the concept of sovereign democracy, a phrase to describe modern Russia politics that some critics have called meaningless.
Sergey Glazyev, Adviser to Putin
Glazyev, 53, the Kremlins top economic adviser, also advises Putin on Ukraine. He was quoted by Radio Free Europe as saying Russia could reduce its economic dependency on the United States to zero if sanctions were imposed. He also said Moscow might be forced to drop the dollar as a reserve currency and refuse to pay off loans to U.S. banks.
