They may own property here, but I suspect a lot of these oligarchs own multiple homes in multiple countries and jet around from place to place on short-term visas. Who knows what passport they're traveling under. (Not that I have any personal knowledge of the behavior of oligarchs -- this is pretty much total conjecture on my part.)<br /><br />Our upstairs neighbors are Russian. I don't know what the man does but he wears a suit and goes to work every day. I'm guessing a banker or some such. So he clearly DOES live here.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-26220277179588732112018-03-19T09:49:39.337+00:002018-03-19T09:49:39.337+00:00I bow to your higher economic understanding Kate. ...I bow to your higher economic understanding Kate.
