The wealth in hands of all these xUSSR oligarchs (Usmanov etc) was once a social wealth of all Soviet people. It is nice to see this wealth is now being converted 'back to social'. Our Facebook accounts are supposedly worth $100+ already, so it seems like a very clever plot to pay these money back to where they belong. Let's hope Mark will provide payouts for those choosing to close their accounts.


The former owners of this wealth are likely not on facebook but for the most part on vkontakte.ru and mail.ru, which they apparently also own.

of course it was sarcastic, how could a sane person believe in that? you scare me with such question.
