  1. Strong suspicion? It's extremely well documented 😂 Google the Loans for Shares program, people with connections in the USSR loaned the Yeltsin government millions of dollars in exchange for shares in Russia's largest state firms. The government (having stupidly privatized everything and deprived itself of any revenue) couldn't pay back the loans, and those well-connected people walked away with ownership of the state-run companies. They became the first generation of oligarchs. It's also worth mentioning that the US rigged the 1996 election to keep Yeltsin in power. There's a reason Putin is still so popular in spite of everything— instability caused by naively chasing "freedom and democracy" left people literally starving to death.
