Why didn’t the press do a good job of covering Russian corruption and the Harvard scandal? Well, who was disproportionately involved in the corruption at both the Russian and Harvard ends? I, for one, had no idea until I read Amy Chua’s 2003 book World on Fire about “market dominant minorities,” that six of the seven “oligarchs” who paid for Boris Yeltsin’s 1996 re-election in return for the privilege of buying ex-Soviet properties at absurdly low prices (e.g., Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky was put in charge of auctioning off Yukos Oil, which owns about 2% of the world’s oil reserves — he sold it for $159 million to … himself) were Jewish. (Five Jewish on both sides of the family, one on one side). And that’s in a country where the Jewish population is about one percent.

IIRC, Chua is married to a jew and it was her husband, or in-laws, who pointed this out to her.
