In Russia, after the Soviet Union collapse, influential POLITITIANS retained power by acquiring large numbers of vouchers.
Step-by-step explanation:
It must be remembered that from the Russian Revolution, till the fall of the USSR, private property, owning anything, was totally unheard of and illegal. Therefore, before the collapse of the Soviets, all private property had been ripped off from their owners and handed to the government to be administered and used. But this changed with that collapse. However, in order to control the domino effects o the Soviet collapse, the newborn government of Russia, and others that emerged as well, imposed certain limitations, and set certain procedures, in order for people to regain access to property. Vouchers where one of those measures. In this way, private property was re-established in all earlier Communist, USSR influenced, countries. Polititians, even Communist ones, were among the ones who purchased the most vouchers issued by the government to ensure continued control, and ownership, of the properties that were being reinstituted.
