[[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russia during Yeltsin's presidency in the 1990's is the most remarkable example of an oligarchy, like the Semibankirschina, or the rule of the seven bank leaders name that contrasted it with the Seven Boyars power. The power of those were so big that they controlled the newspapers and even some people as Sergei Mavrodi, retained more power than the state. In the 2000's the Oligarchs still controlled most of the state enterprises and economy, even though in 2020, Dmitri Peskov claimed that "there are no Oligarchs in Russia".
[[File:Cball-Ukraine.png]] Ukraine's situation is similar to what Russia had, as business oligarchs have big political influence. The oligarchs' influence on the Ukrainian Government is extreme. The notable people include [[File:Libconserv3.png]] [[Liberal Conservatism|Petro Poroshenko]], [[File:Consocf.png]] [[Conservative Socialism|Viktor Medvedchuk]], [[File:Plutocrat.png]] [[Plutocracy|Ihor Kolomoyskyi]], [[File:Conservative.png]] [[Conservatism|Rinat Akhmetov]], [[File:Plutocrat.png]] [[Plutocracy|Dmytro Firtash]], etc. Overall, there are about 35 oligarch groups. In 2011 and even to this day some analysts and Ukrainian politicians believe that some Ukrainian businesses tycoons have extremely close relations with Russia. In 2008, the combined wealth of Ukraine's 50 richest oligarchs was equal to 85% of the country's GDP, by end of 2013 the number was 45%. In 2021, [[File:Zesluhanoradu.png]] [[Populism| Volodymyr Zelensky]] has singed a law that formally defined an oligarch:
* Involvement in political life
* [[File:Mediastocracy_flair.png]] [[Mediacracy| Influence on mass media]]
* Is a de facto owner of a monopoly, and maintains or strenghtens it for over 1 year.
* Has at least 2 700 Hryvnas in assets.
