Kremlin's 'Grey Cardinal' Laughs Off U.S. Sanctions With 2Pac Reference
Vadislav Surkov, a top adviser and spinmeister to Vladimir Putin known as a "grey cardinal" inside the Kremlin, brushed off U.S. sanctions with particular aplomb.
"I see the decision by the administration in Washington as an acknowledgment of my service to Russia. It's a big honor for me. I don't have accounts abroad,"he told the Moskovsky Komsomolets. "The only things that interest me in the U.S. are Tupac Shakur, Allen Ginsberg, and Jackson Pollock. I don't need a visa to access their work. I lose nothing."
