Check out this interview, this dude has lived a very interesting life. I like how he mentioned "T1 Fights", which are extremely violent underground fights that the rich upper class stage for their amusement and for betting. He says Alexander Shlemenko has fought in them.

VICE is and always have been awesome. Cool story.
Side note: anyone who hasn't needs to watch the 'VICE guides to travel' video series.
