The question reference the incidence of oligarchs. Oligarchs are essentially king-pins which can singularly dominate entire industries and economies. Oligarchy is often used to describe the economic takeovers by a handful of men of Russia in the early 1990s to the present. An example of Oligopoly was Russia's Gazprom under Mikhail Khodorkhovsky. Individual oligarchs include Roman Abramovich, Alisher Usmanov, and the exiled Vladimir Gusinsky and Boris Berezovsky.
