  • While that is true, and the absolute apex of oligarchy is ex-kgb, and the head of the mafia, there were a lot of elite, that had lots of, previously illegal, financial stuff going on abroad, and had many professional, and diplomatic contacts formed from years of working with other countries. They also swooped in and bought up massive stocks from people who didn’t really understand their value, in the worst of the instability, but did so more from afar, until things started to calm a bit, then they moved back in, and started operating at home.


  • I mean, that is true. Also what is true is that these people will be the ones who determine wealth afterwards, and those who help can still come out on the other end in a class they were previously below. There are a lot of people out there that will just go with it. Even trained combat forces. Because they are so internally structured to accept hierarchy. This isn’t like a nuclear war wiping out most of humanity type collapse. This will be more like a USSR collapse. Those who know how the greater system works internationally, and who already had resources to invest in the turnover, now are the top dogs. It was people who were already elites, the highest order of the international mafia, and the higher echelon of the security/intelligence forces, like the KGB (though, I guess those qualify as elites), are the oligarchs over russia today.

    I ultimately hope this doesn’t happen, but if it does, I would enjoy seeing their PMCs turn on therm. However I also fear the resulting warlord system, or unified martial state, that could come of that, possibly more.
