Russian perception of oligarchs

[Brian Mason]

I'm an undergraduate student looking to do research for a senior year comprehensive 
exercise on the perception that Russians have of oligarchs through their emergence in the 
1990s and today, and wanted to see if any of you knew of any good sources to begin 
looking at for this topic. 

I was thinking particularly of any effects that oligarchs have had culturally on the rest of 
Russia/normal Russians, and also anything regarding similarities between the oligarchs and 
the boyars in ancient Rus' and Muscovy, but in general anything regarding perceptions of 
oligarchs would be helpful.

Any thoughts on sources you might know of would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Brian Mason
