Chris quotes:

"Nobody knows who Mr Putin has in mind," said Lilia Shevtsova, a senior analyst with the Carnegie Centre in Moscow. "Mr Putin said that he is opening all the closets and it's up to him to decide what he sees in those closets. So everybody should be worried."

Well, I assume this winnowing process will 1) strengthen Putin in a number of ways 2) justify those privatizing operations that pass the test. There will be some interplay between 1 and 2. This is not necessarily good news.
