She compares her investigation to opening a set of Russian matryoshka dolls, one after another. She's discovered several of the shell companies share the same address in Amsterdam and that each of them is worth a single euro.
They lead to the smallest matryoshka doll, a company named Interroyal BV, established with 18,000 euros in 2004 by a Russian citizen named Nikita Maximovich Vinogradov and a Bulgarian citizen named Zoya Georgieva Gyurova.

Washington was totally still alive for the creation of the Federalist and Democratic-Republican parties.
Historian Richard Hofstadter wrote that the Founders "did not believe in parties as such, scorned those that they were conscious of as historical models, had a keen terror of party spirit and its evil consequences", but "almost as soon as their national government was in operation, [they] found it necessary to establish parties."
Believe it or not, the Republican Party began its journey to where it is today as a progressive party.
