Is that the same as a ‘’tycoon’’?
“Oligarchs’’. How do you get to be one of those?
First and most important is your connection to Putin.
All true oligarchs are made by Putin; accept no imitations.
Also, some ability to NOT steal more chains than you can swim with is needed.
—”Is that the same as a ‘’tycoon’’?
IMO tycoons/oligarchs are similar except for the Putin connection.
That said, my status is so low, that I do not recall ever seeing a tycoon, much less an oligarch.
The CEO of the megacorp I worked for walked down the hall of my building. But even he was below that station; perhaps an aspiring tycoon. He was once a member of Rosneft’s board!
Your figures are short more han a decade. Putins 23 years are the key to his popularity.
-—” Putins 23 years are the key to his popularity.”
Pls, post a graph showing that in GDP per capita.
The graph posted in #36 is from 1989 to 2020. Putin took office in 1999.
Putin has given megabucks to his boyars and oligarchs, not so much to the ordinary citizens.
They would have been much better off in China.
When are YOU going to the frontlines in Ukraine to fight the eviiiil Russians? When is your husband, the Russian slayer?
You first. You’re the actual Russian in this conversation so why aren’t you fighting for Russia instead of hiding behind your keyboard while real men do all the fighting and dying?
