I've no time for any oligarchs, russian or otherwise, but i wonder why(!) we never hear about money/power coming via american oligarchs for a comparison (same goes for bots/election interference etc). It's not surprising that the oligarchy party finds common cause with oligarchs from around the world (race is for the little people - doesn't mean much between oligarchs, except they probably think wealth is a race (the randian superhuman race).
