To see how the .00001% lives, we met up with infamous Russian oligarch Sergey Veremeenko and spent quality time hog-hunting and helicopter-joyriding at his private estate outside Moscow.
It is ironical, that the Russian Revolution - in its death throes, produced this social situation.
American political commentators often attribute the end of communism to the wisdom (more irony) and political skills of President R. Reagan. So maybe we should ask whether Sergey Veremeenko is the outcome of Reagan's political adroitness? (sly smile)
And, I guess, in fairness, we should compare the elites produced by the American Revolution to the elites of the comtemporary outcome of the Russian Revolution.
