They don't need to nationalize anything, they can just threaten his family with imminent and painful retribution and he'll open it up to anything they want. Period. All these people whining about "they're both the same", they are not. "Bay of Pigs" argument does not apply, last time I checked Cuba was still standing where on the other hand Ukraine is burning and getting demolished. It seems that those complaining really really do not understand the horror of living under an "official" or "unofficial" (i.e. government sanctioned vs. government tolerated) mafia rule: either you do what they tell you, or you cease to be, along with your spouse, children, parents, siblings, etc. There is absolutely no negotiation.
