The Zen of the Oligarch: think money

The new Ukrainian governor of Odessa, an oligarch, has adopted a creative way to stifle dissent.  He is planning to offer bounties of $1,000 to $100,000 for the capture of political protesters, following the example of a fellow oligarch governor further east. Oligarchs are limited in their communications ability: they can only speak the language of money. The local police, too, apparently. (FT, p2)
