They forgot the dungeon.
And the tiger pens.
I mean ok but it’s hardly surprising. I already assumed he had something like this. he is Vladimir Putin after all. it would be weird if he didn’t have an opulent secret mansion with a no-fly zone and etc.
“The Man Cave” After all, it’s the cave where Vlad keeps men…
@noahdjango the trick is, it’s not whether we see it, it’s whether the Russian people see it and remember the Czars…
Tacky modernized russian palace of old with all the stuff!
Is it wrong that I looked at these, and aside from the sheer wasteful scale it didn’t seem that bad? I mean I know I shouldn’t judge things by Trump, but considering that Putin is who Trump wants to be, it’s a lot more tasteful than I expected.
It is just so typical of russotrash with more money than brains. It’s hard not to despise them, even when they are nothing like that evil weasel (sorry, weasels!) rootin’ tootin’ vladimir putin, with their longing for an endless supply of diamond-encrusted diamonds.
vladi has always wanted to be the Czar of All the Russias.
C’est pas de la merde, mon très cher.
Revolting. However, also how leaders of humans have done since the beginning. With very, very few exceptions.
“Huzzah!”, said Peter
“Huzzah!” said Grigor
“Fuck off!” said Catherine

Although I would bet that You Know Who isn’t too impressed with the decor of that shack [not near enough gold paint]
This probably fills him with white-hot jealousy & gives him some ideas.
I’m sure Mar a Lago has some ‘private rooms’ of its own…
Most billionaire dynasts have safe rooms.
Putin has safe rooms for himself and “unsafe” rooms for transitory persons of interest.
For that matter, Putin probably has a safe room in his safe room! (“ЧО, ДАЩG I heard you like safe rooms…”)
Like that hotel in Chicago?
Mama, do you remember our tsar? Well, I’m something like the tsar
Joseph Stalin (supposedly)
Stalin’s mother did say that he should have been a priest though.
A Tsar is (apparently) a kind of priest.
“CHO DASHCHG”?
The trouble with Pseudocyrillic is that it relies on total ignorance of Cyrillic.
Yo Dawg, perhaps?
Aha, so an aquadisco is a place for water to dance to music. Not as much fun as the image I had of Putin shirtless dancing in an Ibiza style foam party.
Especially if they are managed by the inner circle who are so lucky as to be able to fund this monstrosity!
