How benefits and freedoms trickle down to the average joe.
Considering the fact that significantly less ‘benefits and freedoms’ reach down to the average Joe in Ukraine I bet there is a flaw in this take.
Another point is some say Russia is a dictatorship. Although it is very questionable you have to admit that dictatorship and oligarchy are different forms of government.
In that sense Sechin is a peon and Kolomoisky is an evil oligarch.
It is not that I support this take but it somehow coming out of your comparison.
