The Russia's New Rich
Tuesday, April 01, 2008
When the word Russia said, it’s nearly impossible to distinguish the communist term from it, since the nation has the big connection to the Cold War and being the most rival for United States. But nowadays, the things had turned in instant, the Communist has lost its influence and the New Rich is emerging around the country. The era has shifted from socialist into semi-capitalist ideology, since many of young people put their goal of being entrepreneurs.
In the mid of 80’s, Volvo was the surest sign of status and wealth in Moscow, whose the owner should be a diplomat, journalist, or any Soviet official with extremely rare and powerful connections to the West. But now it has replaced with Mercedes. You can leave an unlocked Volvo at night at high-crime district in Moscow, and chances are nobody would bother with it.
The rapid changes in Russia also brings a turn around in its economy growth and their people’s way of life. Any of two Russians could have meal in a restaurant, talk about selling watches, while enchant themself with a bottle of wine worthed $300. And fresh fish which was once a delicacy whispered about among the elite Communist leaders, anyone can find it grilled or poached and wrapped in figs. Also, restaurants now routinely fly in lobster from Maine and wine from California.
Diamonds and another jewelry are among the common things found in the Russian New Rich. Many of them wears the fabulous Rolex while having a workout at the Gold’s Gym, spending their $2,000 a year fee on the state of the art equipments. Since the privatization of many industries that were owned by the state, businesses grew as well as the premium products emerged. Thus, finding any Rolex watch sellers, diamond buyers or jewelry consignments are not big problems.
Talking about the Russia’s diamonds and jewelries, the Kremlin’s Hall of Facets in Moscow maybe the greatest store of gems. Everyone could see notable diamonds and large numbers of emeralds, spinels, sapphires, and pearls mounted in jewelry once worn by the Czars’ families. Among the gems is a 399-carat red spinel, one of the world's largest; a blue sapphire, also among the world's largest; several emeralds of more than 100 carats each; and rubies of 18 and 40 carats.
