I agree, but yours are real oligarchs, while those I’m talking about are a relatively new thing for you.
Russian-style ones are just blokes from one and the same corporation who chose they want to be celebrities. A façade. They used oligarchy as a scapegoat in the 90s, to avoid lustration while it still could be done.
