We all have a tendency to think that our country's elites are the bad guys and that the problem of elite oligarchical control is particularly bad in our own country. But actual data on this tends to show a different story. Unless your Russian of course, because, according to verifiable data from Data World (2021), the most "elite-dominated" society in Europe is in fact Putin's Russia, with the top 1% owning 48% of the wealth. Erdogan's Turkey is 2nd place with 37% owned by the top 1%. Countries like Belgium and Holland, by contrast, are much more "democratic" in terms of wealth distribution.
