Thread: Chelsea and Roman Abrahmovic

Papers often talk shit, but in this case Russian mafia just seems to come up too many times

I lived in Chukotka early – north-east state of Russian Federation, the state where Roman Abromovich is governor. He real improves our state. Our people love him. Now I live in Saint-Petersburg and my parents who live in Chukotka tell about him well.

Something like 40 percent of Chukchis polled consider him to be a god. No, I swear I am not making that up. To his credit, he did invest a crapload of money in that place, and he even sent kids to Sochi for a holiday. In case you don't know where Chukotka is, think the part of Russia that's next to Alaska, and Sochi is a beachtown on the Black Sea.

Aren't most politicians - be it of course 'legal' - maffiosi like?
