When you look at that expensive home and the smug attitude of the man the reporter met, the Russian Revolution comes to mind. The Bolsheviks got a lot of their financial, political support and adherents from Russia’s upper middle classes and the nouveux rich who were seeking validation and power. The Bolsheviks made great use of the “useful idiots”. After they came to power these fools were imprisoned and killed. The lucky ones were able to flee to the West and became “refugees”. History repeats.
