Billionaires in Russia more than oligarch. It may even be a civil servant or pensioner.

Nine Russian billionaires are among the list of 188 richest people of Europe in 2002. Russians are distinguished by the youth and pressure.
But first and foremost on the list of Russian billionaires draw the attention of one pensioner and one government official, capital which, according to the EuroBusiness, come from Gazprom. Status of Viktor Chernomyrdin, the magazine estimates at 1.35 billion euro (140-th place in the list evromilliarderov), the state of Rem Viajerev - 1,8 billion euro (105-th place in the overall list).

It will be recalled that Viktor Chernomyrdin was not until after Russia in the Ukraine, but also the special representative of President of Russia on the development of Russian-Ukrainian trade and economic ties. That is, it is not simply the Ambassador, but in fact the Kremlin staff.

EuroBusiness notes that nearly all the billions of dollars of Russian state acquired as a result of their proximity to power holders. However, in addition to strong ties with the power of Russian billionaires have one very noticeable difference from their European colleagues. Among European billionaires difficult to find those who are less than 60, but many, and for 70. Their condition, they have accumulated over a long life. Russian billionaires as if to exclude Vyahirev and Chernomyrdin, very young. Most of them have not reached 40 years.
