text: Oligarh - in Russian spelling. \nThis is, obviously, a refernce to oligarchic type of economy, where large portions of national economy belong to several big players, conglomerates, trusts, and etc. \nNew Russians (Novy russkiy) - is not necessarily an oligarch. He may be a head of big oil or metal exporting venture.\nAnd so-called oligarchs, most probably, bought their ventures due to extremely low pricing on auctions during 1990-s. For instance, Mikhail Khodorkovsky is believed to have bought Yukos oil conglomerate for approximately 200 mln $, while its original price was about 2 billion.\nRussians themselves consider ALL rich people got rich at expense of somebody's life. It is some component of Russian mentality.
