First post, be gentle...

<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-10794780">BBC reports russia to part-privatise $30 billion worth of assets</a>

"Under the change of policy, energy pipelines operator Transneft, state bank VTB and hydroelectric power operator Rushydro will also be partly sold off."

So the rich get control of Russia's energy pipelines, a bank, a power utility, and other, as yet, unspecified assets. If the Objective is control of the world, this is a step in the right direction.
