Most Russian oligarchs today trace their wealth back to the acquisition of shares in 1991, often with the help of loans from banks run by friends.

Larry Summers, when he was "advising", didn't make a secret of the fact that he didn't really care who "owned" most Russian assets provided it was in private hands.
