Actual title: The American Woman Who Stands Between Putin and Ukraine

the subject of the OP (Natalie Jaresko, Ukraine's finance minister) is tough as nails.

not sure if she invented the term, but in the OP, she refers to the former Ukraine government as a "kleptocracy"

The term is at least on the order of a couple hundred years old, so she certainly didn't invent it; she's probably wasn't the first person to apply it to Putin's regime (certainly not the first to apply it to a post-Soviet Russian regime.)

It's a very standard poli sci term. Nigeria is considered a classic example.
