> There are plenty of luxurious residences in the West, from the Buckingham Palace to Palace of Versailles, etc. Oh, what a great argument. You win! /s > Why should they be exempt from the evidence of "corruption" you speak of? Because there's a paper trail of how these buildings came to be in the posession of their owners, and it's all rightful. Besides, Versailles, what a solid argument, duh, it's owned by the country? (But hey, don't let this fool you into believing you made a stupid argument). As for Buckingham Palace, well, the monarchy is a weird concept but it's now been molded into something that's palatable with democracy but hey, congratulations, now you've successfully changed to argument to be about monarchy vs democracy instead of the corrupt Yanukovych and Putin governments. You're so clever!
