I was just perusing the Moscow Times and came across an article about Depardieu saying that he has now indeed announced he is willing to "die" for Mother Russia, into whose warm but spikey embrace he thrust himself a few years ago to escape socialist nut-job (aka Monsieur le President) Francois Hollande's 75 percent top tax rate.
Helpfully reminding us that Depardieu once famously proclaimed he could drink 14 bottles of wine in a day, the article quoted him, via,
apparently, Vanity Fair, as saying:
"I am ready to die for Russia because the people there are strong. I absolutely do not want to die a fool in modern-day France."http://www.thecommentator.com/ ... ussia
