I think Keld is saying there’s a criticism to be levied that people like Gorbachev and Yeltsin and all of their accomplices in destroying the Soviet Union were allowed to rise to top positions in the first place, perhaps in place of other people who would not have done what they did.
Just so.
Edit: That the deputy director of some oil company made money off its privatisation is not inherently shocking, but that the guy who oversaw its privatisation was a high ranking and long time member of the communist party and government says something about the nature of that party and government.
