It's complicated but the simplest way to describe it would be to imagine that the Soviet Union was a ceramic plate being held in weak frail hands. In 1991 that plate fell on the floor and a couple of people began claiming each piece. Those people are the oligarchs.
Described well here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_oligarch |
Wow that's interesting. It's definitely shady when the 'president' of Russia has a palace that reportedly cost $1 billion to build, and has amassed anywhere between 200-300 billion in assets. Just ridiculous.
