Putin and the Oligarch: The Khodorkovsky-Yukos Affair, Richard Sakwa
After Putin's Russia: Past Imperfect, Future Uncertain, ed. Stephen K. Wegren, Dale R. Herspring, chapter by Peter Rutland, p.163: " Most of the first wave of oligarchs was concentrated in the banking sector. [...] Banking was a lucrative business since the banks served as intermediaries reaping profits from Russia’s booming natural resource exports, exploiting the gap between the ruble-denominated domestic economy and the dollar-denominated foreign trade."

"Energy Charter Treaty: Coming up for 20 years", published 2014, by Norton Rose Fulbright partners and associates Deborah Ruff, Julia Belcher and Charles Golsong. From p.5: "[A]rticle 45 of the ECT required Russia to apply the ECT 'provisionally'. The tribunal found that Russia could not simply apply the ECT piecemeal, and that Russia had – by signing the ECT – agreed that the treaty as a whole would be applied... On 20 August 2009, Russia gave notice that it wished to [withdraw from] the ECT... Russia is, however, still under an obligation (until 19 October 2029) to afford the investment protection under Part III of the ECT to investments made before 19 October 2009 for 20 years."
