Pay No Attention to the Russian Oligarch Standing Behind the Wedding Party
He’s just there to foot the bill.
The Atlantic reports on a wedding weekend where a Russian oligarch, who is part of Vladimir Putin’s delegation to China, sponsored a lavish three-day celebration. The article emphasizes that the presence of the oligarch was not an ethical concern and that he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for the event. The author argues that the situation is not unlike other post-wedding celebrations and that the oligarch's presence should not raise any eyebrows.
