Russia’s economy is built around these “sweet” deals for KGB/FSB goons who, under the guise of being independent oligarchs, actually safeguard the wealth of the underground soviet structures and use their money for the purposes of the regime. Much of the Communist Party’s money was saved/transformed in this way, by transferring it out of party coffers and into “private” hands, both within and mostly outside the country, but these same privateers walk a very fine line and must obey a large number of invisible rules in order to stay alive or to retain their positions. Those who break the rules are quickly dispossessed by the state of their wealth (and maybe their lives), which secretly belongs to the state, which is either directly reabsorbed into the government or divided up amongst other or new stooges.
