Within the strategy of countering the Russian invasion of Ukraine, many states are targeting Russian oligarchs with economic sanctions and other restrictive measures.

But who are these oligarchs, and how do they live their lives? How did they build their wealth, and how did western capitalist elites benefit from their presence?

Alison and Jerome discuss it with Elisabeth Schimpfossl, a sociologist expert in Russian elites, power and social inequality.

Elisabeth lives in London and is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology and Policy at Aston University, Birmingham, UK. She also taught at a number of other universities in the UK (University College London, Liverpool University, Brunel University, University of Westminster), primarily in the field of Russian/Soviet politics and history.

Russian Philanthrocapitalism and her other publications can be found on her website: https://schimpfossl.com/category/academic-publications/

Breaking the Fever is produced by Fiorella Lavorgna - https://www.bevocal.eu/
