I sometimes feel like I&#x27;m going crazy when I remember that time, and how no-one really mentions it now despite oligarchs being in the news all the time.<p>It was almost certainly done by true-believers, but looked at from a certain angle, it&#x27;s highly effective financial sabotage, as the oligarchs work to export as much of their wealth as possible out of Russia and into safer countries. All those billions that could have stayed in the average person&#x27;s pocket and invested into the economy.
