5. for all practical purposes, London is Moscow on the Thames...

...and the second home of choice for Oligarchs and their money. Russian money FLOODS London. Much of the ultra high-end real estate in Mayfair and Belgravia is Russian owned.

And let's be brutally frank: Certain members of the British government are also Russian owned. Looking at you, Boris Johnson.

8. Russian Tory donor previously married to Putin minister recently gave Conservatives £80,000

A Russian Conservative donor previously married to one of Vladimir Putin's ministers gave the party another £80,000 in the last quarter, the latest figures have revealed.

The party accepted £80,250 from ex-Russian banker Lubov Chernukhin in the last three months of 2021, according to figures released by the Electoral Commission today.

A British and Russian citizen, she was married to Vladimir Chernukhin, who was a deputy finance minister under Mr Putin and was chairman of Russian state development corporation VEB.RF, which has been placed under sanctions by the UK this week.

Mrs Chernukhin has donated around £2m to the Conservatives since 2012.

She's not the only one, of course; the Tories are afloat on a sea of Russian money from those who have gained British citizenship in the past few years.
