] Only now, in the increasingly bland, dry, ] bureaucratic-fascism of the Putin era, do we realize how ] much we miss the Russian Oligarchy, some of the most ] colorful, most amoral characters ever assembled. What ] happened to them? While many praise Putin's successful ] bitch-slapping of the oligarch class, few actually stop ] to wonder where they are -- which is too bad, because ] this story has all the juicy, depressing humor of an E! ] biop on the cast of Diff'rent Strokes, only on a grander ] scale. BAHAHAHAHA! |
