Never try to match drink for drink with a Russian, Any Russian, a 12 year old girl or an elderly hospital patient. No matter who they are if they are Russian they can out drink you!! I'm Second generation Irish and I like my spirits, I can't keep up with Russian's twice my age, it's just a fact, head my advice... you'll regret it if you don't

The Hungarians don't too badly with their wine. I went drink for drink with a group of Hungarians once and didn't stand a chance. They clearly outdrank me. We still talk about it many years later.

True story. My job lets me meet interesting people. This thread made me think of a funny/scary meeting i once had.

when i was younger, i was meeting with an oligarch and I i asked a question about business practices in a complementary way, u know how he must be politically astute.... i thought he was going to jump over the table and kill me lol. I had to clarify my question slowly backing away from the table lol. I laugh now but this was scary at the time.

The only other time ive been nervous in my life was when i was forced to go visit a site and i was told i would get security training... little did i know that meant i get a body guard. This was not in russia lol

Thank god im older and i have a boring job now.

they are probably London members. Most Londoners with massive collections i have ever come across, are Russian or from the UAE or Saudi.

They also hang out at Harrods and the RM boutique

Not an oligarch, just your ordinary run of the mill despot.

Robert, Any changes in the past year that qualify you as an Oligarch?

Heck... Maybe an Oligarch or two joined since this was last posted?
