Lecture on the Rise of the Russian Oligarchs, on January 11, 2027, at Kivunim Beersheba. Menachem Tilman will explain how the collapse of the Soviet Union and privatization created a new class.
In this lecture, we will learn the story of a small group of ambitious young people who, in less than four years, became the richest and most powerful people in Russia.
Menachem Tilman will reveal the story behind the rise of the Russian oligarchs and explain how the collapse of the Soviet Union and the privatization process initiated by the state enabled a handful of young people to take control of the treasures of an entire superpower and amass enormous fortunes.
We will meet figures such as Roman Abramovich and Arkady Gaydamak, and understand how the oligarch class was born and how it changed the face of the new Russia.
