For starters, they should never have been allowed to host the Winter Olympics or the World Cup. The immensely soft ride Russia got during the latter, despite annexing Crimea and bombing schools and hospitals in Syria, compared to Qatar (who for all their issues, are not invading other countries), is an international disgrace.
They shouldn't have been welcomed into the bosom of the British political body (mainly, but not exclusively the Tories) or allowed to splurge appropriated dosh across London and avoid scrutiny.

All true, and a sad reflection on the morality of government when money comes a callin'.
