  1. WIth the "Oligarch" situation between Russia & Ukraine, you are spot on, Oligarchy by the text book definition, implies roughly equal power between the oligarchs, this is what we have here in Ukraine and as Anton pointed out, Russia does not, Russia is not an Oligarchy, becasue the top dog is the only one with power, that is what is called a Kleptocracy, Putin and his ilk are all Kleptocrats not Oligarchs. Anyway, great stuff John, your work is top shelf!

  2.  @markdouglas8073  oh yea, for sure he has his own power basewith his his wagner fiefdom, but he along with Kadyrov occupy a very special niche, these guys are true "warlords" and are a cut way above the average kleptocrat but they still can't come nywhere near challenging the top dog, but anywauy getting to your point, for sure they are culpable and responsible for what goes on on within their fiefdoms. no arguments there!
