81. I can't help but notice how often you use the "You seem........." card.

Unfortunately, you are, again, wrong.

I'm not "disappointed" and I don't "seem to feel."

If Depardieu is not working on a film or project IN Russia, he's in NY filming, or he is in Belgium at his home, or France, or Switzerland or Brazil. He was gone from Russia within a day of getting that passport, he went to a FIFA presentation in Switzerland.

He doesn't stay in Russia unless he's working. He OWNS his chateau in Nechin. He has resident status there. He does not OWN that apartment in Saransk--it's just been offered to him as an "address" so he has a "home of record" for his Russian paperwork.

Depardieu was registered at an apartment belonging to the relatives of his Russian friend, the head of the Gosfilmofond state film archive, Nikola Bordachev. It is not clear if Depardieu will actually live in the apartment, and he has no requirement to spend any particular amount of time there – though he promised to visit the city often.

Giving out apartment keys--to apartments that can be taken away--is not uncommon in Russia. These apartments are places for him to stay WHILE he is working. He's not "living" in Russia. That's why he stays in Moscow hotels.

• February 21. Depardieu received a residence registration in Saransk. However, he has not yet spent a night in his new apartment. He impressed with his knowledge of local history, likening himself to Yemelyan Pugachev, the chief of a peasant rebellion in the 18th century. He said he plans to open a bakery and café in the town.

• February 25. Depardieu was named an honorary citizen of Chechnya. He received the keys to a five-room apartment from Chechnya’s president Ramzan Kadyrov. In reply, Depardieu promised Kadyrov to make a film about Chechnya.

Good thing he wasn't living in that Chechen apartment--it caught on fire:

Here he is in April, cancelling an appearance in Switzerland--note that the report says he has Russian citizenship and is DOMICILED in Belgium:

Le comédien, qui vient d'acquérir la nationalité russe et d'élire domicile en Belgique, devait raconter L'Histoire du Soldat, un livret d'Igor Stravinsky au Centre culturel et des congrès de Lucerne, en Suisse centrale. L'annulation de la représentation est une décision commune à l'orchestre et à l'impresario de Gérard Depardieu.

Here's a paper with a picture from the DSK film, similar to the one illustrating your tabloid phony Batboy story: http://www.thelocal.fr/20130516/video-first-glimpse-of-depardieu-as-dsk

And then, there's this--which basically says what I said.

Il n'a plus tourné en France depuis son exil fiscal. Gérard Depardieu est de retour sur le territoire français pour y tourner un long métrage, provisoirement intitulé F 2014 . Un projet connu depuis quelques semaines et qui se concrétise déjà pour ce mordu de travail qu'est Gérard Depardieu. Depuis le début de la polémique transformée en affaire nationale (son départ et son passeport français qu'il veut rendre), l'acteur n'a mis les pieds que très rarement en France, préférant alterner entre New York (où il a tourné le sulfureux film d'Abel Ferrara, Welcome to New York) , la Belgique et la Russie, où il vit désormais, entre projets de restaurants et tournages très réguliers.

and this (that's day/month/year, i.e. yesterday):
