It must be like being in Caligula’s inner orbit. A mad calculating b*****d surrounded by a bunch of mad capricious b*****ds. I’m guessing the only one safe in this environment is the pet horse, Incitatis. Or in this case, Putin’s pet bear, Grozny.
A section of the Ulyukayev case: ‘Ulyukayev was arrested in a sting operation at Rosneft’s headquarters last year, after Sechin handed him a basket containing $2m in specially marked $100 bills. Sechin said in his testimony that Ulyukayev had asked for the bribe during a game of billiards at a summit. The former minister said he had never made any demands and assumed the basket contained sausages or wine. There was little evidence in the case except Sechin’s testimony, and he refused to show up at court despite receiving several summons. He said he was too busy.’ What a benighted country.

Does he actually have a pet bear called Grozny? That’s the most Russian thing I’ve heard all week (especially if it turns out not to be true).
