Although you did forget one - marry an oligarch!
Trade shares in large Russian businesses for pittance with people who don't know any better.
Wait for large Russian business to make a lot of money

Only Russians are oligarchs apparently..

US is run by oligarchs on the so called left its Soros on right the Koch brothers.. and they're just two big names of course

Britain too has its oligarchs..


Putin kept oligarchs in line. Many oligarchs fled after Soviet collapse and went to Israel and London. :smile:

Western world is run by oligarchs the US being worst.

They are typically like many old Russian oligarchs (who now live in West and Israel) are Stein and Bergs...

Putin helped revive Russia from the ashes and until the economic warfare their lives have improved much vs after the Soviet collapse.

Should we hunt down Soros and Koch and seize their wealth? :smile:

Amass a large quantity of roubles.

The way the currency is going, that should be fairly easy.

That's actually a good idea - plan ahead! Or buy stocks in Russian companies. :beard:


My spouse's aunt bought loads of gold for nothing when the Soviet Union was around. Who wants jewelry when you can't find food? When she came to the US she sold it all and made $$$.
