Почему молчат олигархи, боясь получить по губе?
Потому что для их монарха прислуживает ФСБ.
Олигархам подальше надо спрятаться от греха,
Потому что у каждого стоит за спиной вертухай.
Точно также и мобики не могут вернуться назад,
Потому что до гроба прикрывает заградотряд.
И, естественно, ясно мобикам с давних пор,
Что при бегстве, как бобиков, их расстреляют в упор.
Очевидно в России непросто уйти от греха,
Поскольку суровый у каждого свой вертухай.
Как мобик бессильный, заложником буквы зет,
И олигарх в России, в сущности, тот же зэк.

Why are the oligarchs silent, afraid of getting punched in the mouth?
Because the FSB serves their monarch.
Oligarchs can’t even hide away on the sunny deck.
Because everyone has a guard watching behind their back.
In the same way, draftees cannot go back,
Because the barrage detachment is covering behind them all flanks.
And naturally it has been clear to draftees for a long time,
That if they try to escape, they will be quickly shot point-blank.
It seems that in Russia it is not easy to say in one piece.
Because everyone has their own stern guard all round season.
Like a powerless draftee, hostage to the letter Z,
The oligarch in Russia is essentially the same prisoner.

Олігархам подалі треба сховатися від гріха,
Тому що у кожного стоїть за спиною вертухай.
Так само і мобіки не можуть повернутися назад,
Бо до труни прикриває їхній загороджувальний загін.
І природно ясно мобікам з давніх-давен,
Що при втечі, як Бобіков, їх розстріляють.
Очевидно в Росії непросто уникнути гріха,
Бо суворий у кожного свій вертухай.
Як мобік безсилий, заручником букви зет,
І олігарх у Росії по суті той самий зек.

Behind the neat red-brick façade of a classic Victorian terrace in London are interiors with a fairy-tale charm. As these combine English chintz and romantic-era Russian details with a gallery of wonders, it will not surprise regular readers of House & Garden – or her many Instagram followers – to learn that it is the latest home of the writer, explorer and polymath of style Alexandra Tolstoy and her three children, Aliosha, Ivan and Marusya.
What is surprising, given the layers of ornamentation, is that Alexandra decorated the house in just 10 days, following eviction from her previous home in Chelsea, after the Russian government claimed it against alleged debts owed by Alexandra’s ex and the father of her children, the oligarch Sergei Pugachev.
She has conjured magic from mettle, giving a masterclass in starting again, downsizing and decorating within the limits of a rental contract, while creating a beguiling home for her children full of treasures valued for reasons that do not relate to their cost. The best houses reflect the lives of those who live there; this is one of them.
