A Bill Russell collector doesnât need this card to say they have all his best cards, but it would be nice to have it. A year before Topps was back in the NBA game with their 1969-70 set, they made a very limited amount of cards that featured not only Russell but Chamberlain, West, Havlicek, Robertson and Baylor.
When Mr. Putin became acting president 15 years ago this month, Russia was an oligarchy â indeed the oligarchs, a small group of men who had grown very rich in the preceding decade, were instrumental in picking Putin out of obscurity and installing him at the helm.
The leaders in a oligarchy don't have to be rich, even though they usually are. For example, a high school ruled by a popular clique is an oligarchy. A plutocracy is always an oligarchy, but there could be some oligarchies that aren't plutocracies. An oligarchy can occur in any political system. In a democracy, oligarchs are not elected by the people.
