Andrew Roth “Putin adviser Anatoly Chubais quits and leaves Russia over invasion of Ukraine” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/23/putin-adviser-anatoly-chubais-quits-leaves-russia-invasion-ukraine


露西亜プーチン政権顧問で、SDGsに関わる国際機関との連絡のための大統領特使を務めていたアナトリー・チュバイス*1が役職を辞任して、露西亜を出国し、土耳古イスタンブールに滞在していることが確認されている。辞職と出国の背後には、彼が露西亜ウクライナ侵攻に反対していたことが挙げられている。


Chubais is not a particularly influential member of the government and has no say in security affairs, but his resignation will create headlines in a country where most Russians know his name.

Chubais is best known as the architect of Russia’s controversial privatisation scheme in the 1990s, which helped create the country’s market economy but also concentrated immense wealth in the hands of a group of wealthy oligarchs.

A former chief of staff under Boris Yeltsin, Chubais recommended Putin for his first Kremlin position as deputy chief of the presidential staff in 1997, several years before he emerged as Yeltsin’s successor.

The former economist held a number of government roles during the 2000s, including the head of the state-run Rusnano firm. He was named Putin’s climate envoy in 2020.

In his years in government, Chubais established himself as a consummate political survivor, maintaining a role in Russia’s government despite his liberal credentials and the lingering anger over the pain of the Yeltsin government’s economic reforms.


Yet after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began last month*2, he began to air signs of discontent, posting images of the slain opposition politician Boris Nemtsov*3 and that of the liberal economist Yegor Gaidar*4, who had warned of the dangers of imperial ambitions under Putin.

“In our arguments about Russia’s future I didn’t always agree with him,” Chubais wrote. “But it appears that Gaidar understood strategic risk better than I, and that I was wrong.”

彼は二重の意味でプーチン露西亜を作った人なのだな。先ずは、エリツィンプーチンクレムリン入りを推挙したこと。また、何よりも彼が主導した新自由主義的改革が露西亜社会を荒廃させ、露西亜人がプーチン政権下の権威主義化を受容する素地となったこと。
