The estate is a cathedral of excess, gold-leafed columns and crystal chandeliers casting a sterile glow over Moscow's most dangerous architects of crime. Champagne bubbles in flutes, but the air tastes of iron and old secrets. Through the sea of silk and tailored suits, Katarina Volkov glides with a predator's grace.
