Surely, that is not a sign of his ostentatious nature, but his secretly (or not so much) preparations to start a pirate navy to overthrow the Kremlin! @ 9:41

Crimea was then and still is a playground so we always had loot and loaded people. Don't take me wrong, they still eliminated the unwanted and raised the loyal, but they were practical about it. They had their period of building up the mob then they eliminated the underlings and now the bosses run the banks and hold the land. JoeJim and Size I think that the poor people whore them selves to get ahead, nouveau russe like nouveau riche are gaudy, desperate people. I know a lot of billionaires, my godfather was one and I've dated a couple, and it stays true that old money are less visible and less flashy, they don't have to prove their wealth. Where as the nouveau are ridiculous. I came to the states from Crimea, right at the fall of Berlin wall. Crimea was then and still is a playground so we always had loot and loaded people.

As one of the ones who made it out of Russia... Most Russians - men and women - are whores. It's the only way to get ahead in a totalitarian country. As my aunt (who lives in Moscow, basking in Putin's glow) says, "those of us who don't whore ourselves out live in shit". Translated literally it's "up our ass". All the Russian billionaires bent over for a shocking number of Medvedevs to get to the line where they were handing out billions. Them's your choices: whore or abject poverty. It's a great system. Much better than the evil capitalist exploitation system they have here in America. Love the conversation. As one of the ones who made it out of Russia…
