Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I saw the interview.  Loved the use of the term "oligarchy".  Where are we ... Russia?  LOL

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.

Not too surprisingly, our domestic oligarchs, close to coeval as they are with the Russian ones, have gotten much better PR, aka "press coverage" than have those in Russia.  Even in its heyday, Raymond Chandler's LA Times was much better at covering international issues than domestic and better at national than local.  Wouldn't want to get too aggressive at covering other local Chandler family enterprises.
