    To a very dissimilar extent. The capitalists are in charge of the Russian state, and private ownership is the principle aspect of the economy. Russia has more state-owned firms than some other capitalist countries, but that’s about it, capitalists are thoroughly in control and private ownership is dominant.

      If the capitalists are in charge of the state, they are the state. So it is not privately owned, it is state owned, the state just doesn’t serve the populace. That’s not capitalism.
