Medvedchuk's idea for a new principality worth a trillion rubles.
Reading
A wealthy Russian nobleman named Viktor Medvedchuk asked the government for a large sum of money. He wanted the money to create a new territory within the country where he would be the ruler.
Medvedchuk promised to be a kind leader to the people in his territory. He also pledged to build shipyards for making boats, airports, and churches.
Medvedchuk believed that his territory would be a model for good government in the country. He claimed it would show other regions how to create wealth and fairness.
Another nobleman, Tsarov, thought the amount of money Medvedchuk requested was too small. He sent Medvedchuk back to ask for even more money.
