Fascinating. Boy, it's almost easy to forget that Russia was in such a state of disarray but a few years ago. Well, I think we found out what direction Russia took vis-a-vis the oligarchs. :)

Thanks for posting.

The massive Russian selling had strings attached:

New oligarchs must not seek political power (Yukos CEO made tghat mistake)

Should not take the proceeds away to Russia or sell out.

That created a few disgruntled. Went to UK. There they were too outspoken to their own good.

In 50 years no one would rememebr the oligarchs roots and the state of is will be firmly established.
