Ultimately, taxation of any kind winds up being paid by the consumer. But the point is that with import duties, the manufacturer is paying the taxes directly to the government and it isn't internal taxation. Philip Morris is indeed paying that even though the ultimate consumer pays more for its cigarettes as a result.

Cigarette companies pay import duties for their cigarettes sent into Russia. I haven't been able to locate the figures for that, so I don't know how much of the £7bn in taxes comes from that. My guess is all of it, but the article could have been more precise about this.

Don't overrate Putin's individual importance to Russia. Eliminating Putin is vital, but unfortunately wouldn't break up the so-called "Russian Federation" into its 85 occupied parts. More than this would be required.
