Rich, Russian and Living in London | BBC.HD.ZigCOM.mp4

English subtitles
First broadcast: 5th Jan 2015

An interesting, but somewhat selective portrayal of rich Russians in the UK. If BBC's take on this subject is anything to go by, the only way Russians can ever be successful is by being anti-Russian establishment, by packing their bags and heading off to London. This may or may not be true, but I would have loved to have seen a stronger investigative journalism, which in BBC's case don't happen much lately. Surely not all Russians in London have been chased out of Russia by Putin's "hit squads", as BBC would have us believe.

Still, a programme worth seeing, despite its seeming support for the current Western anti-Russian agenda / propaganda. And propaganda, by its very definition, is a lie designed to manipulate public opinion to exclusively benefit the ruling elite.

One thing is for certain, it's part of Russian culture to massively value and support education - expert as well as general knowledge is what puts us on top the proverbial food chain.
