That's a translation issue, it's a window-fall tax.

Its also bullshit. Russia is insanely corrupt and those rich oligarchs are mostly putins friends, so this is just going to be used as an excuse to take more money from the citizens while saying, look, these guys are "paying" so much more, least you can do is pay more too!
