"These are, to say the least, uncomfortable times to be a Russian oligarch.
In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, governments are taking aim at the
superwealthy with close ties to Vladimir Putin, hitting them with sanctions,
cutting off their access to offshore wealth, seizing their luxury yachts and
villas and generally making it difficult to be a filthy rich person.
But in the Opinion Video above, Jonathan Pie, the fictional broadcast
journalist played by the comedian Tom Walker, argues that even while the United
States and the European Union have come down hard on Russian oligarchs, Britain
has taken a gentler approach. This response, he argues, is the result of a dark
symbiotic relationship that the country has developed with ill-gotten Russian
money."
