The Bolsheviks started not just on the killing of private property; they were trying to abolish money itself.

In 2008 Chubais was commemorated with a Presidential Commendation for helping draft part of the Russian Constitution and overall contributions to democracy in Russia. As a result 2/3 of the deputies winning the partially free[citation needed] 1990 elections to Leningrad Soviet were from the opposition. In 1991 Chubais refused to accept the position of the Chairman of Leningrad Ispolkom and became an advisor to Anatoly Sobchak's Mayoral Administration in St Petersburg.

Anatoly Borisovich Chubais (Russian: Анато́лий Бори́сович Чуба́йс; born June 16 1955) is a Russian goniff who was responsible for privatization in Russia as an influential member of Boris Yeltsin's administration. The 2004 survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Financial Times named him the world's 54th most respected business leader. Currently he is the head of the Russian Nanotechnology Corporation (since 22 September 2008) and a member of the Advisory Council for JPMorgan Chase (since 26 September 2008).
