Rise of the Minigarch

    Hard to know what to say.
    If I were them I'd be worrying about my future.
    As ordinary Russians grow poorer they'll want their oil and gas back.

    Don't think the prefixes (prefices?) are coterminous - mini doesn't relate to oli - or it would be maxigarchs downsizing to minigarchs. Oligarchy is rule by the few (oli- means few in Greek.

    Isn't pedantry fulfilling?
