Can someone explain me shortly why there are so many Russian rich people.
My country, Cyprus, is full of them. The money they possess is unimaginable.
As I understood after the collapse of the Soviet Union the public wealth went to the hands of few people.
But is this the only reason? Did these oligarchs existed before the collapse of the Soviet Union?
What was the relationship of this oligarchs with the previous and current government?
The majority of them also as I noticed have low education.
Why the people in Russian do not react against them. Is it natural a person to possess 8 billions and the other to starve or receive pension of less than 50 euro?
Please you answers if its possible in Russian.
