Power Strategies
The Oligarchs and the Revolution in Ukraine
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
Since the late 1990s, a small circle of men in Ukraine have amassed exorbitant wealth due to their privileged access to state resources. The strategies that these oligarchs choose to secure their assets, however, differ greatly. Their reaction to the Euromaidan protest movement, the fall of Viktor Yanukovych, and the separatist activity in eastern Ukraine make this very clear.
