While a lot of the country's wealth was sold to make Putin's boyhood pals rich beyond belief, there is so much more that has simply disappeared, that hasn't gone into high end real estate, bling, or fancy cars. I suspect a lot of it has gone to Switzerland and did so at the end of the Soviet era, also.

To sort out the mess and repatriate the money that has been stolen from Russia and its people, The City in London and the Swiss banks are goiing to have to steel themselves and allow a few auditors in. It's the only way.
