You can easily Google them. None of the Russian oligarchs were in the USSR government.
They started as entrepreneurs when Gorbychev began freeing the markets but they took form as extremely powerful individuals during Yeltsin's corrupt administration of "shock therapy".
Damn that sure is a lot of corruption. >

Much remained unchanged since USSR days.
Oligarchs owned everything, controlled everything, etc.
With the ru backers no longer in positions of power, reform is finally possible.
Also, a requirement for EU membership, hence many laws now passed to that end. >

The oligarchs came out in the 90s. They didn't exist in the USSR.
Edit: Jesus Christ on a motorbike, read some history you downvoting thundercunts. >


They didn't exist in the USSR.

They were just in the politburo and in other high ranking party positions.
