From recent Russian history Andrey Tikhomirov

Russia has approximately 15% of the planet's mineral and raw material potential, accounting for only 3% of its world population. The country is far ahead of most developed countries in terms of resources per capita. It would seem that Russia has unique opportunities for developing its economy. However, opportunities are one thing, and the real reality is another. Today the private sector owns almost the entire oil industry, ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, logging and timber processing, light and food industries. The transfer to private hands of energy, railway transport, military industrial complex, land sale has begun. The country's leadership, with the advent of the world oligarchy, says that the state should have as little property as possible in its hands. Among other things, in recent years, huge financial amounts have been secretly, openly or half-open at the level of government agencies.
