In terms of the ratio of the number of the richest people to the share in the population of Russia, Mountain Jews (Tats) hold the championship in wealth - two percent of the Forbes list to 0.00005 percent of all Russians
Private property is everything. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev recently spoke in this sense when speaking about the kind of economy that needs to be built. And what is the elite that owns and manages this private property, the masters of life and the economy - the Russian oligarchs? An interesting study on this topic was conducted by sociologists from Kazakhstan.
Scientists primarily studied the national composition of the oligarchy, correlating it with the ethnic structure of the entire population of Russia. The criteria were chosen as very democratic, taking into account the self-identification of billionaires. In particular, the presumption of “Russianness” and “Ukrainianness”. All those who had Russian and Ukrainian surnames were considered Russians or Ukrainians. Also, unlike the halachic rules, Jewish mothers were not taken into account when determining the nationality.
In total, persons of 20 nationalities were recorded among the oligarchy.
The object of the study was a sample of the richest Russians from Forbes magazine for 2013: only 200 people who collectively own $488.6 billion in various forms and control more than half of Russia's non-state economy.
In terms of the number of billionaires, the Russians are ahead. The list includes 91 people or 45 percent, while the share of the Russian population is 77.7 percent. The total wealth is $172 billion, with an average per person of $1.89 billion. The poorest is $0.5 billion, the richest is $14.3 billion.
In second place in terms of numbers are Jews, 38 people, 19 percent, with a share of 0.11 percent in the population of Russia. The total wealth is 109 billion dollars, the average per person is 2.87 billion, the poorest is 0.5 billion, the richest is 16.5 billion dollars.
The third are Ukrainians, 29 people or 14.5 percent, the share in the population is 1.35 percent, the total wealth is 98.5 billion dollars, the average wealth is 3.396 billion, the poorest is 0.5 billion, the richest is 14.4 billion.
Then, according to the list - three Georgians, an Ingush and an Azerbaijani, two Uzbeks and a German, one Avars, an Arab, a Kabardian, a Kurd, a Latvian (Peter Aven), a Lezghin, a Lithuanian, a Moldavian and an Ossetian.
Volga peoples (including Bashkirs), Kazakhs, Belarusians, Chechens remained unrepresented.
Perhaps convinced anti-Semites will be disappointed, but the Uzbeks have significantly outstripped the Jews in terms of average per capita capital - 13.5 billion per person. This, obviously, is an absolute record among billionaires not only in Russia, but throughout the world.
Azerbaijanis are in second place with $5.78 billion, and Ukrainians are in third with $3.396 billion.
In terms of the ratio of the number of oligarchs to the share in the population, Mountain Jews (Tats) hold the championship - two percent of the Forbes list to 0.00005 percent of all Russians. In total, there are 762 tats in Russia, and if the fortune of four representatives from Forbes is divided between them, then not a single nation in the world, including Monegasques and Brunei, can be compared with the level of well-being of the Mountain Jews: more than 10 million for each, including the elderly and children , a nation of millionaires.
Other data are also interesting - 90 percent of the oligarchy have higher education and academic degrees, while almost all groups have 100 percent higher education, excluding Russians and Ukrainians. True, according to researchers, in about half of the cases, higher education and academic degrees were already obtained in the status of millionaires and billionaires.
Problems or conflicts with the law in the past and present are recorded in a third of the oligarchs. The leaders here are Jews and representatives of the Caucasian peoples.
About 40 percent of the oligarchs have formed their fortunes in the fuel and energy sector by exploiting the subsoil - a public property, as written in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Also wealth was brought by transactions with property, financial speculation, including during privatization, banking business. The manufacturing sector is represented by export-oriented metalworking, chemical and food industries, as well as housing construction.
The generalized image of the Russian oligarch, therefore, can be characterized as follows: half-Slav with strong admixtures of Jewish, Tatar and Caucasian blood, slightly thieving, having problems with the law in the past and present, well educated and prefers to receive huge and quick incomes not in the sphere of material production, and reselling within the country, and preferably for export, the fruits of someone else's labor.
But the results of the activities of these "kings of private property" can be easily found by studying the state of the domestic economy, which is managed by their like-minded people from the government of the Russian Federation. The budget deficit continues to grow, and the GDP growth rate, as you know, is projected at the level of three percent, which is completely insufficient for growing development.
The share of revenues in the state budget from the export of fuel and raw materials is about 50 percent, which indicates the absence of a complex engineering and electronics industry - the basis of any modern economy. This structure of state budget formation is typical, by the way, for some African countries, which still have almost 100% private property.
And in the developed countries of the West, including the United States, “pure” private property has long been an anachronism at the level of small industries; in key areas of the economy, it has long been supplanted by a collective and corporate form of ownership with the highest level of socialization.
Maybe there is someone who can explain these well-known truths to high ranks?
Shoigu is one of the most popular Russian politicians who has held high leadership positions for more than twenty years - now he is the country's defense minister, and before that he led the affairs of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, was the governor of the Moscow region.
You can find out who Sergei Shoigu is by nationality by looking at his biography. He was born sixty-three years ago in Tuva, in the small town of Chadan. His father was a Tuvan, which means we can say that the Minister of Defense himself is a Tuvan. Sergei Kuzhugetovich's father was an educated man and served as editor of the regional newspaper "Shyn", later his career was further developed - he became deputy chairman in the Council of Ministers of Tuva.
Sergei Shoigu's mother was Russian, a native of the Oryol region, and worked as a livestock specialist for a long time. Later, Alexandra Yakovlevna moved to a senior position - she became the head of the planning department of the agricultural department of Tuva.
Much is said about the religion of the Minister of Defense, including the fact that, since he is a Tuvan, it means a Buddhist. However, Sergei Kuzhugetovich himself claims that he is an Orthodox Christian, and adheres to the religion of his mother.
In some television reports, you can see that the Minister of Defense is baptized, which is a confirmation that the nationality of Sergei Shoigu did not affect the choice of faith.
At the same time, Sergei Kuzhugetovich did a lot for the Buddhist clergy, helping to build datsans in his native Tuva.
“Shoigu has done and is doing a lot for Buddhism and the Buddhist clergy, helping to build datsans in Tuva. I am sure that if the Buryats and Kalmyks turn to him for help, he will also help,” Lama Bair Radnaev said in an interview.
Short biography of Sergei Shoigu
Sergei Kuzhugetovich always showed a special craving for knowledge - he studied well at school, then at the Polytechnic Institute of Krasnoyarsk, where he mastered the specialty of a civil engineer. After graduating from the university, Shoigu devoted fifteen years to the construction profession, having worked at large Siberian construction sites for almost fifteen years, first as a foreman, and later as the head of various departments of the industry.
From the very beginning, he showed himself to be a good leader, and in the late eighties he was first offered to try his hand at a party post.
During the year he was the second secretary of the party committee in Abakan, then he took the position of inspector in the regional committee of the CPSU of Krasnoyarsk.
In the nineties, Sergei Kuzhugetovich moved to the Russian capital and became deputy chairman of the State Committee for Architecture and Construction of the Russian Federation. In 1991, Shoigu was offered to lead the Russian Rescue Corps, and almost immediately he initiated the creation of rescue teams throughout the country.
A few years later, the Rescue Corps was transformed into the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and Sergei Kuzhugeotvich became the head of this department.
In 1995, Shoigu began to take his first steps in the political sphere - he became a member of the Our Home - Russia association, then became the chairman of Unity, from which the United Russia party was later formed.
As the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Sergei Shoigu served for eighteen years, and during this time he visited many hot spots in emergency disaster zones around the world and earned unquestioned authority. For his work, he repeatedly received awards not only in his own country, but also abroad, wherever rescuers worked, and in 1991 Sergey Kuzhugetovich became a Hero of Russia.
Shoigu became the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation in 2012, and in this post he carried out many reforms aimed at strengthening the defense of our state. Sergey Kuzhugetovich has always enjoyed and continues to enjoy great prestige not only among his colleagues, but also among everyone who knows how much he has done in his post.
