"Finally, Gorbachev announced the disbandment of the Soviet Communist Party in a blithe statement. A big Party was gone just like that. Proportionally, the Soviet Communist Party had more members than we do, but nobody was man enough to stand up and resist." -Xi Jinping, 2012
My angle is all like cui buono. Who gained from Gorbachev's controlled demolition of the government he had been elected to lead?
Who is Gaidar? who is Abramovich, who is Abramov, who is Deripaska, who is Fridman, who is Malkin, who is Khodorkovsky.
Some honesty from back in the early days of the Putin regime, before he shoahed the eXile:
Ninety years later, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, a funny thing happened: Russia's media and finance was overwhelmingly controlled by jedis. Paranoia and fiction became reality. Of the seven oligarchs who controlled more than 50% of Russia's economy during the 1990s, six were jedis: Boris Berezovsky, Vladimir Gusin-sky, Alexander Smolensky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Mi-khail Friedman, and Vitaly Malkin. Berezovsky also controlled the state television station and several newspapers, while Gusinsky's media empire controlled NTV, Russia's only national independent TV station, as well as major radio and print outlets.
