My fiancee would kill Anatoly Chubais herself with her bare hands, if she happened to see him around Moscow. I don't think the average Russian that I have met blames the "American System," only the bastards that they feel robbed the country.
If my memory serves me correctly, Berezovsky ended up with nearly total ownership of Aeroflot on a $100,000 loan. The guy who last year got Norilsk taken away from him got a 5 Billion dollar mining concern for about 5 million dollars. The above paragraph is from memory, from my reading of "Godfather of the Kremlin." Any numerical errors are mine.
Anyone know what happened to the book about this Anne Williamson was writing? I know no one has wanted to touch it with a long pole, but I was hoping by now someone would have. She also wrote a very good article called " The Rape of Russia."

Anne Williamson is a Soviet and Russian specialist and author of the forthcoming book, Contagion: The Betrayal of Liberty, Russia and the United States in the 1990s..
Sounds like a done deal. You can probably contact her, or someone who'd know the details at the Insightmag.com link above.
