Crazy Rich Russians: From Oligarchs to New Bourgeoisie
14.99 €
The controversial fame of Russian oligarchs has long since spilled beyond the borders of the country where they amassed their capital. The whole world gossips about them, either laughing or condemning them, but takes their money with unfailing pleasure. But what do they think of themselves? Austrian sociologist Elisabeth Schimpfössl, who has been living in London, the capital of oligarchs, for fifteen years, has conducted a hundred conversations with the richest people in Russia and their cronies to find the answer to this question. From her book you will learn how the oligarchs explain their insane wealth, what they teach their children, and what they are going to do in the new reality, where they will have to choose between a comfortable life in the West and the preservation of Russian assets.
