Ultimately it wasn't that different. The leninists basically accomplished the same thing with extra steps. As long as the state exists. The state will seek to enrich itself. It's just a case of the pre-existing bourgeoisie versus the novu bourgeoisie. It's not a mystery why what was once supposed to be "our assets", the assets of the Russian people. Suddenly became some oligarchs private assets. It was never considered the assets of the people. The moment they symbolically switched away from pretending to be socialist there was simply no need to hide their control anymore.
