Moscow today is currently persecuting a bunch of Jewish millionaires with political ambitions. That too is anti-Semitism. But 10 years ago, who would have believed that Russia's wealthiest capitalists would be the Berezovskys, the Gusinskys and the Abramoviches? ===

Absolutely wrong. Those capitalists are simply a thieves. For that they are under fire. Unfortunately they very skilled in robbing but not in creation.

I wonder if all the article are same wrong in other points as in this one?

I disagree in one respect. These are not capitalists. Rather they used political connections to loot Russia. That is simply corruption.

That is absolutely correct: one cannot become wealthy in Russia without stealing and bribing officials.

I guess the author's point was why only those from Jewish families (these people -- Berezovsky, Gusinsky, Abramovich --- are themselves no longer Jewish) have been single out for prosecution.
