I vaguely remember a story where, shortly after the Soviet Union collapsed, someone managed to take over a factory making erasers and made a fortune. Maybe it was the only functioning one and imports didn't work for some reason...
“Russian oligarchs” you hear about so often in the news are essentially gangsters that pilfered the valuable assets from the collapsed USSR. Many different types of factories were taken and profited from.
