Personally, I'd suggest some kind of distribution method of former Soviet state assets (Like the oil industry, maybe?) that results in them ending up more or less fully intact in the hands of a small number of Russians, who could use their control over people's paychecks to act kind of like the railroad barons/company town managers of 19th century America. Perhaps the most profitable facilities are sold only in a closed domestic market wholesale, rather than being broken up into stock that were distributed to the employees or sold to the international market and the invest capital given to them? People still need to eat, after all, and may be willing to sell their new rights (in practice, at least, if not legally speaking) if its the only way to get employed
