I admittedly didn't read the whole article, but it sounds like the Kochs, with their private company, capitalized (capitalism?) with a contract to do this work for the Bolsheviks in exchange for $. Isn't that what capitalism is all about? The Bolsheviks money was as good as anybody else.
If anything, it makes the socialist look sheepish with the need to hire from the outside to do anything productive.
But again, I didn't read the whole article.
