isn't that what happened when the IMF tried to transition the former sovjet union to a free market in record time?
also, isn't that why putin is so liked among a large portion of the people, because he brutally stripped away some of these guys wealths?(probably adding some to his own in the process)
- VladRussian2 13y agoTzar transferring wealth from (and publicly humiliating and stripping them of all the privileges, etc...) non-110%-loyal to him rich people (who built their wealth by "stealing from people" - in Russian mentality there is no other way to build a wealth) to the loyal ones is the national reality show in Russia. People there just love a "strict, yet just tzar".
