The influence and
weight of state-related oligarchs have grown under Putin |
|
|
The
expansion of the state's control over the economy
notwithstanding, the state sector has not displaced the
private one as the core of the Russian economy |
|
|
In the 2000s,
renationalisation has been significant: YUKOS, Sibneft (now Gaspromneft),
all helicopter building plants, etc.
|
|
|
But at the same time privatisation has
also proceeded apace, including electricity generating companies, the
completion of the privatisation of the iron and steel industry, coal mining
companies, etc. |
|
|
As a result, the overall weight of the state sector in the
economy has not changed significantly compared to the late
1990s |
