I ended up coming up with this for Oliver's fifth year away in a kind of summary version.
After Oliver gets initiated into The Bratva, I'd say he spends about the good first half of the year and maybe even longer, working his way up through the ranks by being a skilled assassin and torturer for them. Eventually, say like in the flashback special episode in 5x14 or 5x15, Oliver gets his Bratva rank and tattoo of captain.
Then for the next couple of episodes Oliver and some of The Bratva members including Anatoly begin waging wore against Kovar, by destroying his supplies, like guns and drugs with burning down his warehouses, plus killing his men.
Eventually Kovar having a mole inside The Bratva manages to deliver a crippling blow, to the Russian mob and Oliver. First Ishmael Gregor, who is the leader of The Brava is murdered and so is Oliver's allies outside of Anatoly, who escapes.
Kovar then has Oliver thrown into the Gulag and for the next few episodes Oliver is trying to survive in that prison with figuring out an escape plan. Eventually Oliver manages to get out and being, unable to cut his hair has allowed it to grow into the long mess from Arrow 1x01.
By this time Anatoly has now become the leader of The Bratva and offers to help Oliver, with more men. Oliver declines, preferring to go at it alone and using just his bow and arrows goes after Kovar. Needless to say Oliver cripples Kovar's entire operations with eventually defeating Kovar and killing him.
Oliver having fulfilled his promise to Tainia by defeating Kovar and informing her parents of what happened to Vlad and her, decide it's time move forward. He considers himself ready to pull fill his father's mission to take down those on The List.
So Oliver is returns to Lian Yu and has Anatoly send a fishing trawler out, so Oliver can be "rescued" and no one would ask questions about where he's been for the past five years.

Like 134sc, I like it. However, there is one problem: as of the Season 4 finale, he and Amanda Waller are still rather amiable with one another. This doesn't jive with she said in "Suicide Squad", about him still being angry about the last time. My guess is he will deal with Kovar pretty quickly, but then Amanda snatches him and places him on Lian Yu (perhaps Kovar was doing something for ARGUS and Oliver's actions have upset the balance of power?) in their newly-designed prison. Oliver escapes, sets traps to keep the ARGUS agents hunting him on their toes (thus giving us the traps like the one Thea tripped in "The Return"), and just happened to be a lucky SOB when he spotted the fishing trawler.Comment

Really, I'd say it's more of a recon. You can tell by the way they did the recap of season 4, that their saying Oliver promised to kill Kovar instead of going to find Taiana's parents.
Which in a way does kind of further help move the story along if Oliver is actively trying to take down Kovar. That's probably why they changed it.Comment
