Gag. It's interesting though, how well American aristocrats blend into the population compared to Russia where it's relatively new and apparently very easy to call out who's descended from who and how they got rich. Perhaps it's that there are just so many here. I'm unable to find a copy of the full original Tatler article, but I am almost done with the McDonell book and it's a pretty easy and entertaining read. I had never even heard of 'In Time' (2011) but it's the same director as Gattaca and I plan to check it out too this weekend.
The new bourgies are learning to rule through Gramscian hegemony rather than mafia terror. They're dazzling the peasants with "culture" and filling heir heads with an obsession for titles, hierarchy, and class. A new conundrum for KGB Volodya. How does HE fit in with all this? Does he jail/exile them like he did with the previous lot of oligarchs? Does he dig up a new Surkov to unleash on the masses and brain-fuck them to re-establish his own hegemony?

Some solid advice
Whoa! That would have had problems even in (today's) British Tatler, presumably its parent/inspiration
