Talk:Anatoly Chubais
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think he was also one of the guy behind Loan-for-share. This is what Stiglitz had to say about Loan for share. "...The most egregious example of bad privatization was the loan for share program. In 1995, the government, instead of turning to central bank for needed funds, turned to private banks. Many of these private banks belonged to friends in government who had been given bank charters. In an environment with underregulated banks, the charter was effectively a licence to print money, to make those loans either to themselves or to the government. As a condition of the loan, the government put up shares of its own enterprise as a collateral. Then-surprise!-the government defaulted on the loans; the private banks took over the companies in what might be viewed as a sham sale and a few oligarchs became instant billionaires...."
[edit] NPOV?
Regardless of if it is true or not, I don't think the phrase "he is widely hated" should be present without sources. Mlewan 09:17, 16 April 2006 (UTC) For a source, why don't you go to Russia and ask around? For Chubais' "work", read Boris Mironov's "Chubais - Enemy of the People. Facts and documents"... I know this is unacademic, but I certainly don't know what would be a valid source. Also, as a sidenote, how do you think the people who got ripped off by his "work" feel towards him? I sincerely hope that one day he'll get his.
[edit] Anarchy in Russia?
According to: time of anarchy that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union
I believe that there the correct word will be chaos, since anarchy means a stateless society of free people, according to wikipedia. Or may be there should be an "anarchy" article explaining the connection between anarchy and chaos. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.146.27.71 (talk) 03:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC).
