Many knowledgeable people in Russia are aware of the political phenomenon of "oligarchs" that control the Russian political situation and block the sky. Even in Yeltsin's era, many people unveiled the disguise of "oligarchs", demanded that Yeltsin draw a clear line with them, and cracked down on them.

But most of the credit for Yeltsin's success in his second election was due to the behind-the-scenes support of the "oligarchs". The large amount of campaign funds they sponsored allowed Yeltsin, who was suffering from multiple diseases, to defeat the Russian presidential candidate. Therefore, during his term, the seven major oligarchs' business grew bigger and bigger, and they often pointed at every policy introduced by the Russian government. This political pattern of oligarchs "ruling the government behind the curtain" made many aspiring Russian politicians dare not speak out, and their resentment towards the oligarchs has been accumulated, waiting for the day of the outbreak.

As the saying goes, "God will make people crazy if they want to destroy them." When Russian oligarchs are extremely proud, they are also the time when they will fall to the top. The blow to the oligarchs will come soon, but it is not a challenge to the internal forces of Russia, but a source of a well-known international financial crisis. At this time, although Russian oligarchs discovered that their pillars of wind and rain in Russia were so fragile. The huge wealth they have was actually rootless duckweed. As long as a strong wind blows, everything they will sink into the water and even a bubble will not emerge.

The Russian financial crisis broke out in 1998. The most severely hit was the financial industry, the main business of the Russian oligarch. Among the seven oligarchs, Smolensky's capital savings-Agricultural Bank, as the leader of the eight major Russian banks, suffered a blow of destruction. Not only did he owe all his debts, the Russian Ministry of Interior also wanted to investigate his illegal business operations. When he saw that the situation was not good, he fled to Vienna first to take refuge. Russia applied for an international wanted order from the Interpol to arrest him. His bank was also frozen and auctioned, and he became the first "oligarch" to fall.

The unlucky one was Venograddov. His Moscow International Commercial Bank suffered heavy losses, resulting in the inability to repay the deposits of 230,000 depositors. After the Russian Central Bank confiscated the business license of the international commercial bank, Venograddov was forced to file for bankruptcy in 1999. He also became the most miserable oligarch. Now he is hiding in a wasteland in Siberia, living a primitive life with a blood-drinking life. His family is isolated from the world and is quiet. Many people have forgotten his glorious days.

As for another not-famous banker, Malkin, although he was lucky and the bank escaped the Russian financial crisis, he was also seriously injured. His value plummeted and completely withdrew from the ranks of oligarchs, and instead invested in casinos and other businesses. As a result, in a financial crisis, the seven oligarchs went third, and the fragility of other oligarchs was also revealed. Many ambitious politicians began to try and try to deal with other oligarchs.

Historians have argued endlessly about whether the times create heroes or heroes create the times, but in the eyes of Russians, heroes have always created the times themselves. Russia traditionally likes strong-man politics, while Yeltsin is old and sick, and is addicted to drinking as he lives. However, he is not unwilling to save the situation of Russia's political and economic decline after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but it seems that he has not had much time, and everyone has placed his hope of saving Russia on his successor.

Yeltsin was also prepared for this. During his second term as president, the Prime Minister changed his revolving style. The "shock therapy" advocate Geidal, 35-year-old Kiriyanko, and the mature and persistent Chernomerkin and Primakov, have changed seven prime ministers. Many people have been confused by his approach. In fact, this is all his continuous experiments, trying to find a head of the army like a stabilizing needle for Russia after he left office.

God pays off. The last taciturn and cold-faced former KGB agent came into his sight. This is Vladimir Vladimir Vladimirovic Putin, who has been the prime minister for more than half a year and suddenly resigned from Yeltsin and became the second president since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Putin obviously did not disappoint Yeltsin's painstaking efforts. The first major thing he did when he took office was to launch the Second Chechen War. You should know that the first Chechen War during Yeltsin's tenure in the Chechen War was to lose troops and the generals were barely tied. However, none of the battle goals arranged before the war could be achieved, so he had to acquiesce the Chechen armed forces to semi-stop. Therefore, the war reopened, and everyone was not optimistic about the prospects of the war. But Putin did not retreat. He went to the battlefield to comfort the front-line officers and soldiers, greatly boosting the morale of the army and showing a tough attitude of not giving up until the goal was achieved. As a result, the Russian army conquered the Chechen capital Grozny. The Chechen armed forces fled to the deep mountains and forests to fight guerrillas, and it never became a climate again. Putin thus established the reputation of "tough guys" among the people.

With the high expectations given by the Russian people, Putin, after becoming president, he certainly would not have a good face for the "oligarchs" behind the national politics. Soon he took action against the oligarchs with decisive targets, pointing to media tycoons Gusinsky and Berezovsky, who have always advocated freedom of the press and liked to cooperate with the West to attack political policies.

The two oligarchs have similar paths to fame. Gusinsky also started out with a bank. He had a bank called "Bridge". Later, he acquired Russian ** TV and several newspapers and magazines, becoming a well-known Russian media tycoon. Berezovsky not only owns banks, but also is involved in oil, aviation and other businesses. The Russian public TV stations and TV stations he acquired are both the highest-rated TV stations in Russia. He also once ranked among the State Duma and became a member of parliament.

However, these two oligarchs are obviously too inflated. Berezovsky once helped him win the presidential election as Yeltsin's campaign aide. He has a close relationship with the Yeltsin family. He has this identity and his TV station has spared no effort in criticizing political policies. During the Second Chechen War hosted by Putin, the media of these two oligarchs criticized this, which made Putin extremely angry.

On May 11 this year, the Russian law enforcement department én forcibly searched Gusinsky's "Mediah-Bridge" group. On June 12, the Russian Procuratorate accused him of embezzling state-owned assets and ordered his arrest. On June 16, Gusinsky, who had been in prison for three days, was released on bail and then disappeared mysteriously. At the beginning of the year, Russian judicial authorities accused Berezovsky of participating in a series of fraud cases. In order to avoid reproaching Gusinsky's mistakes, Berezovsky escaped to the UK in May of that year and avoided a prison disaster.

However, if the monks can't run away, they can't run away. Most of their assets in Russia were confiscated, and the business empire he worked hard to build disappeared in a blink of an eye. This hatred is absolutely impossible to resolve, and Putin, who defeated the oligarchs, naturally became their number one target.

After listening to Yang Xing telling the grudge between Putin and these oligarchs, Yeterina couldn't help but worry: "I understand, Friedman and others represent Russian oligarchs. I said they generously borrowed yachts and agreed to sell us oil at a low price. In love, Russia's number one rich man, Hodorkovs, is basically one of the seven oligarchs. When he saw the fate of others, he thought that everyone would unite to deal with the new president Putin. Then wouldn't it be very dangerous for you to participate in it? If someone discovers, you are planning to deal with the president of the country."

Yang Xing beat Natasha who was secretly oozing into his swimming ku. She really didn't see that she was so bold. She was not afraid to go out of the blue, and quickly changed the topic, "I'm not worried. This is a doomed struggle. Those oligarchs are not Putin's opponents at all. They dare not talk to me, and they arrange some agents to hide it. Friedman is at most a broker. His arms business cannot help those oligarchs. They are good at making some tricks and really want to give them real guns and ammunition. They dare to assassinate Putin. They are from the KGB and still occupy the title of righteousness. These oligarchs should have been dealt with by mistake long ago."

"But they fight in their own homes. What does this have to do with me? I don't think that the oligarchs can win. The fame of these oligarchs is too bad. The Russian people don't like them. Putin acts steadily and has tough methods. The right time, place, and people are on his side. I see that Khodorkovsky and others don't hurry up and run away, they are afraid they will not escape the prison."

Yang Xing looked at Natasha and pestered him again, knowing that he had just fed Kajia and Lin Jiana, and it was not good to be favored by the other side. He could only grab the beautiful baby in front of him, and clear away the small cloth piece of the bikini, so that the firm ting that was so angry that she was so angry that he went straight into Hong Kong. As Natasha sent a satisfactory beauty, he had time to continue explaining.

The other few NVs are just not seen. They all have various relationships with Russia. Now, when Yang Xing talks about the origin and end of Russian oligarchy, he thought to himself that Yang Xing has indeed two tricks to combine changes in the current situation with business. This vision alone is hard for ordinary people to reach.

"I am just a businessman, and it is my god to pursue profits. They are eager to use money to deal with Putin. The conditions offered are superior. Why don't I do it? In addition, Putin is a good leader for Russia, but with my observation, it may not be good news for foreign investors." His voice suddenly changed, because Natasha's body slowly squirmed suddenly, and the wet corridors were tightened layer by layer, which almost made him feel sè.

"Hmph, right. He proposed that in order to seek national interests, oil or diamonds, it should be gradually nationalized, while those oligarchs advocate learning the Western free competition model. If the oligarch forces and Putin can fight for longer, the more time and opportunity you have to step up your infiltration of Russia and obtain more Russian resources. When Putin gains the upper hand, it is afraid that it will not be so easy to succeed, so would rather support the oligarch?" Lin Jiana said Yang Xing's thoughts with a slightly red face. Yang Xing, who was on the verge of collapse, could only breathe and nod.

"Sisters, for Russia, we must teach this guy a lesson, bring the razor, and let him taste the shave." Lin Jiana issued anger and gave orders, which scared Yang Xing and Natasha almost fell down with her arms because she was still trembling.
