the subject of the OP (Natalie Jaresko, Ukraine's finance minister) is tough as nails.
not sure if she invented the term, but in the OP, she refers to the former Ukraine government as a "kleptocracy"
- dragonwriter 12y agoThe term is at least on the order of a couple hundred years old, so she certainly didn't invent it; she's probably wasn't the first person to apply it to Putin's regime (certainly not the first to apply it to a post-Soviet Russian regime.)
- azernik 12y agoIt's a very standard poli sci term. Nigeria is considered a classic example.
