Natasha (who cuts my hair, provides me with financial advice, and updates me with the latest news about Russia) has a mother who lives in the Crimea - in an apartment that was once a fortress of one of the Russian Mafia members (three-foot-thick walls, etc.). The government prosecutors were actually able to convict this guy and send him to prison. They then took over this place and subdivided it into apartments - "for the benefit of The People". Perhaps the prosecutor in this case was Putin's gal, Natalia Poklonskaya:
(The current Prosecutor General of the Crimea - who has stated that she is grateful to be living in a country where "the rule of law is respected"!)
