Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Tsarist imperialism was both a source of fascination and Russophobia for the people of the West. After the collapse of communism it seems to revive again thanks to big capital. What is the life of contemporary oligarchs' wives like in this world? If someone is expecting tinsel concealing vacuum they will be surprised to see a great need of expressing oneself through art and the awareness of possibilities that fate brings to a human being.
