The Oligarchs by David Hoffman
Wealth and Power in the New Russia
A vivid investigative narrative that traces how a handful of powerful businessmen capitalized on the chaos of the Soviet collapse and 1990s privatizations to amass enormous wealth and political influence, describing the insider deals, corrupt schemes and close ties to the Yeltsin government that rewrote Russia’s economy and reshaped its politics, and how their rivalries and entanglement with the state ultimately provoked public backlash and a reassertion of centralized power.
