Indicator of the effectiveness of the government and the entire vertical of power.

In Russia 131 billionaire. It is diagnosedJournal CEO, who now publishes the rating of Russian billionaires, kindly presented a study of "MK". CEO grabbed the baton from the closed "Finance" magazine - the one that led to the 2004 monitoring income and shopping-bags.
Brought a new rating record: the number of holders of $ 1 billion or more reached maximum values ​​for the time of observation. A country with no middle class, now boasts 131 billionaires - that's 30 more than before the crisis. Thus, Russia has shown an enviable worldwide unsinkable "drummers capital" - they are increasing the ranks, despite the crisis, the fight against theft and other budgetary reprisals. In 2009, the population of billionaires fell to 49 was - no, oklemavshis. In the top ten are the same familiar faces, and to replace the outgoing newcomers arrived - the list was updated in 2008 by about half.But on the whole squad oligarchic noticed the loss of fighters, as the overall trend remains the same: the number of billionaires has not developed into quality. Almost all of the "inhabitants" of the rating in some way connected with the production or primary processing of raw materials. Which over the last couple of years, however, some decorated a "virtual" business.

The list of billionaires this year broke owner of "In Touch" Vyacheslav Mirilashvili (№ 127), Yandex founder Arkady Volozh (№ 124), the creator of the popular antivirus Evgeny Kaspersky (№ 113). And Internet investor Yuri Milner earned on Facebook with Alisher Usmanov, has risen to 17 steps, up to the 80th position. But the main character "virtually" and raw materials of the Russian capital was himself Usmanov, who led the second rating. About a quarter of the money of the founder of "Metalloinvest" now account for "Internet Invest".
If we have a "virtual" business looks like a raisin in the commodities pie, in the West the richest 90% of people make money on retail, medicine and high technology. Extraction and processing of only 10% come from there the billionaires.
It is hardly necessary to waste time comparing the incomes of our heroes with the average earnings of Russians. But it is worth noting that when the crisis collapsed commodity prices, measures to save their business empires pulled tens of billions of dollars, and the lion's share of the money was allocated from the National Welfare Fund. Which is kind of like kopilsya for future generations. Indeed, when pressed, to bow to the power went almost the entire list of Russian Forbes, whose capitals turned out to oil "bubble."
And now the people's money and saved oklemavshis at good prices for raw materials in no hurry to "work." As insured against reduced demand for our raw materials (and it is inevitable in the long term), that is to diversify - the word is gone out of fashion even in the speeches of the government. Instead, they provide a huge outflow of capital from Russia, which in 2012 reached $ 56 billion, and to drive the economy into the trap of corporate debt last year exceeded $ 530 billion
But why? And because those "who do not have a billion dollars, let him go to the well ...", as once said Sergei Polonsky. Which, incidentally, heavily tarnished karma and from the list of billionaires has taken off with a bang.Tatiana ZamahinaSource: mk.ru
