When the Soviet Union fell, these oligarchs didn’t arise from nothing organically. How do you divide up all the assets technically owned by the people. That were really owned by the party when the party is disbanding? The answer, unsurprisingly, is to give the assets to yourself.
They were no longer the party establishment who had failed the people and led them into stagnation. These were exciting new capitalist. Who would lead Russia into their shiny new capitalist future. Certainly not leading them into a quagmire grinding up young Russian men. Trying to reclaim past Soviet glory. (Literally what they’re trying to do in Ukraine.) The power never changed hands. Just names slightly.
Literally one of the better, more accurate description of modern tankies. Are eastern liberals living in the west. Doing for free what actual Russians would only do to get paid.
