An oligarch is being buried.

The coffin is standing. Friends gather. Gusinsky approaches the deceased, takes out a wallet, takes out $200 and puts it in the coffin.

After Gusinsky, Potanin approaches the coffin, also takes out a purse and counts out 200 dollars.

Berezovsky approaches. Takes out a chequebook, writes a cheque for $600, puts it in the coffin and takes out $400 in cash.
