Since rising to power, Vladimir Putin has kept a strong hold over the oligarchs of Russia. With these oligarchs being some of his closest allies, it has long been assumed that one of them will take control of Russia once Putin leaves office. But, in this interview, historian and author Mark Galeotti argues that the successor could come from a different class - the minigarchs.
