After the fall of communism, Russia ushered in capitalism by selling off billions of dollars in state assets.

Now, 30 years later, the Russian government is stepping up a wartime campaign to do the opposite: seizing private businesses, this time in the name of national security.

In the past month, courts have ordered Russia��s largest warehouse owner to be taken over by the state and also directed the nationalization of a major grain exporter. And in the most stunning case, prosecutors filed a lawsuit in January to seize Moscow��s second-largest airport.

The new spate of expropriation expands on the seizures of Western-owned businesses in Russia after President Vladimir Putin��s invasion of Ukraine began three years ago.

Critics say the asset seizures are also undermining the last vestiges of Russia��s rule of law. They have become ��chaotic�� and ��out of control,�� said Alexandra Prokopenko, a fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center in Berlin.

By seizing lucrative private enterprises, the Kremlin can put large sections of the economy either in state hands or under indirect control of Putin��s associates, allowing the government to tailor industrial output to the needs of the war effort and also be in a position to introduce price controls. It also aligns with the Russian leader��s goal of tightening his grip on domestic policy.

Researchers at the London School of Economics have identified more than 200 Russian court rulings to nationalize private companies since the start of the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The courts, they said, mostly used claims that the companies violated 1990s privatization laws to seize them from businesses deemed ��unfriendly to the Kremlin regime.��

Taken together, those seizures amount to ��the largest redistribution of property in Russia since the privatization drive�� in the 1990s, said Alexander Kolyandr, a fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis.

Putin spearheaded a campaign to take over landmark assets from foreign owners in the first months of the war. He signed several decrees in 2022 and 2023, first barring the foreign owners from selling their assets, then allowing the state to ��temporarily take over�� Russian companies owned by individuals from ��hostile nations.�� But he has since taken a back seat as property seizures became widespread across different sectors of the economy.

In the weeks since President Donald Trump has taken office, he has pushed to unleash oil and gas production and has signed executive orders halting the country��s transition to renewable energy.

But in Washington state, a government-led effort has just started to build what is expected to be the country��s largest solar generating station. The project is finally inching forward, after decades of cleaning up radioactive and chemical waste in fits and starts, at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, a sweep of desert that was pivotal to the nation��s weapons arsenal from 1943 until it was shut down in 1989. A developer, Hecate, was brought on last year to turn big stretches of the site into solar farms.

Hecate will have access to 10,300 acres that the government has determined sufficiently safe to redevelop. The company has already started site evaluation on 8,000 acres, enough space for 3.45 million photovoltaic panels. (Hanford��s site is nearly 400,000 acres.)

If all goes according to plan, the Hecate project, which is expected to be completed in 2030, will be by far the largest site the government has cleaned up and converted from land that had been used for nuclear research, weapons and waste storage. It is expected to generate up to 2,000 megawatts of electricity �X enough roughly to supply all the homes in Seattle, San Francisco and Denver �X and store 2,000 more megawatts in a large battery installation at a total cost of $4 billion. The nation��s current biggest solar plant, the Copper Mountain Solar Facility in Nevada, can generate up to 802 megawatts of energy.

The big unknown still hanging over the plan is whether the Trump administration will thwart efforts that the Biden administration put in place to develop more clean electricity generation.

Two officials at the Energy Department, who asked not to be named for fear of retaliation, said that neither the president nor the leaders of the administration��s effort to reshape federal agencies had yet to intervene in the solar project, but that the future of the initiative was uncertain. One of the officials said the new energy secretary, Chris Wright, a former oil executive, had not yet reviewed the project as of late February.
