This is rich. ROFL.
Russian president signs decree after French film star Gerard Depardieu quit his homeland to avoid tax hike on the rich.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has granted citizenship to Gerard Depardieu, the French film star who is quitting his homeland to avoid a tax hike on the rich, the Kremlin has said.
Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, said on Thursday that the former Oscar nominee, who played the role of eccentric Russian monk Grigory Rasputin in 2011, had applied for citizenship after Putin said he would be welcome in Russia.

Sign of the times, huh? Tax refugees leaving their countries to go to the laissez faire tax haven in the USSR ... um ... I mean, Russia.
Russia is the perfect place. He can be comfortable with the Putin-supported oligarchs, while the average Russian grows onions in his backyard for sustenance.
