Oh those Russians....

The post-millennial version of "Crime and Punishment" would probably include a football-club owner married to a bleary-eyed top-model born somewhere in the tundra who is dating a fake aristocrat claiming a narrow escape from the royal family massacre temping as a gigolo so that he maintains his jet setter life-style, and hm, still considering what other characters to spawn. One thing is for sure - there will be lots of lots of sex, lies and... spam.
It's a pity one of the most inspiring characters ended his life rather infamously. He must have been a genius of internet marketing ("Tolstokozhev is estimated to be responsible for up to 30% percent of all viagra and penis enlargement related spam.")
R.I.P.

P.S. Well, Mr. Tolstokozhev can say, on a par with Churchill, "The rumours of my death are somewhat exaggerated". Theregister is sceptical, and they seem to have a point.
