interaction was established in Russia during the
Yeltsin presidency. Then, a handful of bankers
and industrialists supporting Boris Yeltsins
bid for re-election, gained in exchange for their
material help direct access to the design of key
economic reforms, especially privatization. S.

The example of Ukraine
  • The emergence of an oligarchy in Ukraine is the
    product of the degeneration of the political
    regime towards authoritarianism and the nature of
    the economic transition.
  • Economic reforms were slow and uncertain.
  • Political reforms strengthened the presidency and
    the presidential administration. Extraordinary
    powers were granted to President Leonid Kuchma -
    but they did not produce a coherent economic
    transformation.

The Inner Circle
  • It has been estimated that in the months
    following Kuchmas election in 1994, something
    like 206 apparatchiki moved from Dnipropetrovsk
    to Kyiv to occupy key positions in the state
    administration and control the process of
    resource allocation. The core of the clan was
    composed of some 200 individuals, among whom were
    figures like the future Prime Minister Valeryi
    Pustoyvotenko, Volodymyr Horbulin, secretary of
    the National Security and Defence Council, and
    Serhiy Tyhypko (...)
