    where did the Oligarchs come from?

    From organized crime groups.

    the first wave of oligarchs came from the Russian political elite, basically claiming what was “theirs” during the communist government

    Yep. Oligarchs came into existance after union collapse. And usually not political elite, but beaurocratic elite also called nomenclature.
