Oligarchy is a form of power structure in which power effectively rests with a small number of people. These people could be distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, corporate, or military control, but in modern usage the term usually refers to government buy a small number of wealthy people.

Since the end of the Soviet Union, Russia has been described as becoming an oligarchy.
