    The way you phrase this makes it seem like the oligarchs had no responsibility in shaping how Russia is today.

    Russia is at least as complicit in its own destiny.

    I think you can understand why any nation wouldn’t just fully embrace a failed state with their arms wide open, particularly one that, up until a recent turn, had been its most vehement opposition.
