And here's Boris Berezovsky the moment he lost his case to recover his wealth....also under Yeltzen and part of the "The Family"...Berezovsky was found on March 23 in the bathroom of a mansion outside London...locked in the bathroom.... a postmortem found he had been hanged and no sign of a struggle was determined suicide....... Reported he was despondent after loosing his case against Russia... as his fortune by then was gone...winning would have kept him in the big boys game...lost without it he despaired of life....saying to others months before his death...."I forgot the meaning of life"....

Well they call them Oligarchs today....but these duds fleeced Russia as no other....it was a huge party for them..but they really blew their own foot off when ‘THEY’ appointed Putin to run for the Pres. they thought he would go along, not realizing Putin went along til he could be in Power....

Pres. Yeltzin ( by that time not sane) was forced out by these guys pre-maturaly . They had spent months using mass media to introduce Putin to the Russian people as the new man of the hour...and it worked. But Putin had his own agenda to take back the gov. from the thugs and turn Russia around....so one by one they saw their time was up and fled to other nations....those who stayed eventually lost their fortunes..few stayed.

Here's the guy, the Oligarch, who Berezovsky fought in the court case he lost, and friend of Putin...they usually aren't really known very much publicly here..but Russia knows them well. ....Although Boroshensky's nature was to attach himself to people in political authority and loved the spotlight when it would feed his narcissism...which he had scads of. His public image mattered greatly to him which is likely why he couldn't handle the loss of his wealth....the guy pictured is one of those who , under Putin, managed the assets that Putin took from the Oligarchs and placed them under the state....

Here's another...who IS from Ukraine (likley helping to fund the Kiev gov. or the other Oligarchs in Ukraine)... his fortune as a senior oil executive with Russia's Oil Yukos under Yeltzin ,while fleecing the Russian people...

He is another who saw the handwriting on the wall and escaped from Russia to the Uk (cameran likes these guys and their billions).. now puts his money in the Tory political candidates....though of course he denies he's influencing UK's Politics...

This guys simply re-located his dealings.... his energy company has been paid at least £4.5 million of taxpayers’ cash through the Department for Business’s Regional Growth Fund in UK. Russia filed extradition for him...still pending last I knew.

FUI...This 'interesting' photo was taken moments after Yeltzin gave his address to the people he was leaving immediately and ready to be ushered out the door..(with his pay off of course).........keeping in mind the Oligarchs still believe Putin is their man and can manipulate him like they did Yeltzin....so here's Putin...knowing full well he has a different plan then they suspect. ..and just inches from assuming power...... BTW This was New YEars Eve when it went down...
