- Summary:
-
"Existing studies of the oligarchs and their relationship with the Russian state tend to be damning on two grounds: they obtained their wealth and power corruptly, and rapaciously stripped the assets over which they had so dubiously gained ownership." "While the author would not wish to be seen as a 'revisionist friend of the oligarchs', nevertheless this book is distinctive in that it undertakes a critical analysis of each of the claims made against them. In doing so the book presents a detailed description and analysis of the place of the oligarchs in the contemporary Russian political economy, including a study of the extraordinary Yukos affair."--BOOK JACKET.
