Russia's Not Short of Cheap Energy
In Russia, it's not just servants of the Kremlin's media who inculcate scorn for the West. There are other voices who started scoffing in similar fashion on their own initiative to appeal to a younger, cooler audience. In this slick video, Ivan Kondakov is strumming his guitar and quinking champagne glasses with friends in his kitchen as they tuck into plates of brawn. Brawn?

Thank you very much.
