It's no wonder.
There was no private property in Soviet Union. Everything belonged to the government.
However once Soviet time was over, the "privatization" started when normal people were making their flats and house their property and business was transferred to be private property as well.
So imagine You were a director of a huge oil factory in Soviet Times with an extreme salary of 500$ (no shit) and then in 1 day You had better possibility than anyone else to make the whole factory Yours, and the next day You wake up - You're a billioner.
As far as I recall they still think to sue the guy in the Govermnet who actually started that "privatization" process cause it fucked the whole country.
