That’s a rounding error for them.

    That's 1/85 of the watch that Ramzan Kadyrov's son sported on his wedding.

    Or one can just compare it to the share of Google's profits in California.

    Perhaps a post about this in politics? You've piqued my interest.

    I don't know, it's Russian news mostly, just impressed plenty of people enough to say "yeah, this is bad, time to flee" (because this basically means that people in power don't expect anything even resembling rule of law in the next few decades ; some sort of thief feudalism, like the "political system" Gypsies have when left to themselves, and I don't hate Gypsies, but I also don't like a few things associated with their cultures).

    I'm extremely interested. Perhaps somewhere on a niche instance?

    It doesn't come up in search on Lemmy, at least everything by "Adam Kadyrov" is about some special forces training event or him beating someone.

    If a link in Russian will do (Google Translate?), then https://www.gazeta.ru/social/news/2025/06/30/26158466.shtml , maybe?

    The wedding also involved shooting into the air from a G-Wagon and polarized sunglasses (OK, that part is really not that strange, it's basic convenience and fashion everywhere around Caucasus ; just wanted to communicate the atmosphere).
