纽约时报:俄罗斯远东的“拉斯维加斯”瞄准中国赌徒 ZT by 不合理啊 on 2017-07-04

俄罗斯阿尔乔姆——在俄罗斯的东部边缘,普遍存在的腐败和官僚机构的怠惰一起阻碍着当地经济活力,亚洲其他地区则正是因为这种活力致富。如今,一座闪烁的宫殿在这里的黑森林中拔地而起,以一种看似不可思议的努力力图吸纳附近中国、日本和韩国的财富。
在几乎没有中国或其他国家的投资者想在俄罗斯冒险的时候,这个位于莫斯科以东4000多英里(约合6400多公里)的森林中的建筑正在向荷包丰满的亚洲人招手,这些人不仅不在乎风险,而且以其为乐,他们已准备好用自己的钱在这里的*河蟹*牌桌上和轮盘赌台上下赌注。这是俄罗斯远东与拉斯维加斯媲美的初步尝试。
附近的符拉迪沃斯托克的官员希望建成拥有八座赌宫的巨大“综合娱乐区”,水晶虎宫(Tigre de Cristal)是其中迄今为止唯一建成的一座,也是俄罗斯目前最大的赌场。这个赌场主要由一家香港公司凯升控股(Summit Ascent)提供资金,是中国在该地区最大的一笔投资,俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·V·普京(Vladimir V. Putin)试图将这个地区展示为俄罗斯“向东转移”的榜样。
1959年,尼克塔·S·赫鲁晓夫访问美国加利福尼亚州之后,在俄罗斯远东地区曾做过短暂停留,他当时曾宣布,符拉迪沃斯托克已成为“第二个旧金山”,自那时起,这座港口城市丰富的资产——众多的自然景色、亚洲的地理位置,以及拥有高学历的人口——曾激发过大胆的设想。但随之而来的都是令人失望的结果。
在普京总统领导下,莫斯科已经向这个地区注入了数十亿美元的投资,花钱修建了大桥,盖了新的大学校区,还投资了国家下达的其他耗资巨大的项目。但是,在远东联邦大学研究国际问题的教授阿尔乔姆·卢金(Artyom Lukin)说,尽管莫斯科与北京之间的关系越来越密切,但“俄罗斯已经意识到,免费的中国资金不会到来。”
不过,中国的赌徒正在到来,不仅因为除了南部沿海离香港不远的澳门外,在他们自己的国家赌博是非法的,也因为符拉迪沃斯托克东北部的森林为那些生活在中俄边境以南省份中的1亿多中国人提供了唯一一座容易到达的赌场。
45岁的商人李云辉(音)是来自牡丹江的赌徒,牡丹江距符拉迪沃斯托克约150英里(约合240公里),他说,俄罗斯的赌场缺少像澳门那样的著名赌博中心所拥有的便利设施和服务,但他补充道:“至少这里很近。而且空气很干净。”
他说,自20世纪90年代初起,他经常来符拉迪沃斯托克,他不能理解为什么俄罗斯在经济建设方面远远落后于中国。“感觉这里就像是一个发展中国家。中国几十年前就是这个样子,”他说。他还说,他曾试图在符拉迪沃斯托克设立一家小型企业,但这里严重的官僚作风令他绝望:“在中国一天能干成的事儿,在这里要干几个星期。”
这家博彩企业本身就是做事缓慢的体现。政府官员差不多十年前就开始想干这件事情。他们找到了一位人脉关系好的当地商人奥列格·德罗兹多夫(Oleg Drozdov)来修建水晶虎宫目前所在的酒店和娱乐建筑群。但在2013年,在俄罗斯远东滨海边疆区名誉扫地的前行政长官谢尔盖·达尔金(Sergey Darkin)被迫下台后,德罗兹多夫因腐败指控被逮捕。
如今拥有赌场60%股份的香港公司凯升控股接管了德罗兹多夫的建筑工人留下的水泥外壳,与其他投资者一起又投入了2亿美元后完成了施工,赌场已于2015年底投入使用,这家公司去年上报了不太多的利润,公司现在打算再投资5亿美元,在同一娱乐区里兴建第二座豪华酒店、高尔夫俱乐部,以及更多的赌场设施。
其他公司计划建设的另外四个赌场原定近期开业,但目前远远落后于预定计划。森林里的几片空地上没有多少施工的迹象。俄罗斯的一家法院最近取消了一个俄罗斯开发商的赌场项目,因为工程进度太慢。
凯升控股在香港的公司财务和战略总监蓝博文(Eric Landheer)说,他的公司有“先发优势和专营权”,但公司不希望很长时间都是森林里唯一的一家,因为赌徒们喜欢更有活力的赌场群。
赌博在俄罗斯有着漫长、且经常是坎坷的历史,俄罗斯人对赌博的态度受东正教的影响,东正教反对赌博,认为那是魔鬼使的坏,也受费奥多尔·陀思妥耶夫斯基(Gyodor Dostoyevsky)作品的影响,陀思妥耶夫斯基有赌博瘾,他在小说《赌徒》中探讨了赌瘾的诱惑和危害。
普京提倡基督教传统价值观,他曾在2009年对赌场和老虎机下了禁令,他抱怨说,太多的俄罗斯人“把养老金赌光了,落得身无分文”。
不过,让中国人和其他外国人去输钱显然没问题。事实上,他们输掉的钱现在支付着在水晶虎宫赌场工作的约1000名俄罗斯人的工资,并为符拉迪沃斯托克周围的滨海边疆区提供了迫切需要的收入来源,这个城市除了深受腐败困扰的国家基础设施项目外,一直在努力吸引外资。这里在苏联时代不对外国人开放,如今该市有定期往返于哈尔滨、北京等中国城市的航班,开车或坐火车也能来这里。
为了敲外国人和为数不多的俄罗斯人的竹杠,莫斯科批准设立了四个特别的赌博区。最西边的在加里宁格勒,针对的是来自邻国波兰的赌徒,其他的两个分别在度假城市索契和阿尔泰的西伯利亚地区。
俄罗斯人也可以在水晶虎宫赌博,只要他们出示护照并进行登记。俄罗斯牧师、以及那些认为赌场不能成为健康经济发展的替代品的人无法接受这一点。
“任何读过陀思妥耶夫斯基的人都知道赌博带来的所有问题,”符拉迪沃斯托克的一位资深记者安德烈·卡拉辛斯基(Andrei Kalachinsky)抱怨说。“扩大卖淫一定会创造就业机会,但那是什么样的就业机会呢?”
交通基础设施是另一个问题。从赌场区通往符拉迪沃斯托克机场的新高速公路,在最后一段变成了一条烂泥路。通往符拉迪沃斯托克市中心的一条长约35英里(约合56公里)的蜿蜒道路经常堵车,以至于普京派驻俄罗斯远东地区的特使尤里·特鲁涅夫(Yuri Trutnev)提议开通渡轮服务,以缩短前往赌场所需的时间。
当局在履行对中国和其他几个国家的游客实行无签证入境的诺言上行动缓慢。尽管如此,如果参加旅游团的话,中国人仍可以相对轻松地拿到签证,去年前来符拉迪沃斯托克及周围的滨海边疆区的中国人数翻了一番多,达到了30万人。
符拉迪沃斯托克市议会的反对派议员尤里·库钦(Yuri Kuchin)说,当地官僚通常阻碍、而不是帮助外国投资,在很多事情上拖手拖脚,除非有自己的经济利益。虽然他激烈批评政府,但他支持这个外国人领头的赌场项目,认为它提供了就业,也是把该地区的非法赌博活动挤出去的好办法,他说非法赌博通常受到腐败官员的保护。
目前负责这个项目的政府机构滨海边疆区发展公司(Primorye Development Corporation)拒绝透露打击非法赌博俱乐部的情况,也拒绝说明这个赌场项目在该地区整体发展战略中的地位。
符拉迪沃斯托克的一些外国项目已以失败告终,其中包括两家五星级的凯悦酒店,酒店本该在五年前开业,但目前仍在建设中。尽管水晶虎宫赌场项目也因各种各样的原因推迟,比如一位当地商业伙伴被逮捕,但这家赌场现在不仅已经开始运营,而且还在盈利。
凯升控股的董事长是澳门赌博巨头何鸿燊(Stanley Ho)的儿子何猷龙(Lawrence Ho),他在一份写给投资者的报告中承认,“这一年中没少有挑战”,但表示,“总而言之,我对我们在俄罗斯远东这块宝地投资的潜力非常乐观。”
赌场最有利可图的业务来源是中国的狂赌者,他们是中介通过所谓的公费旅游招募来的,这些中介先要找到赌徒,然后为他们提供信贷、安排旅行,并在赌场为他们提供私人的贵宾间。作为对这些服务的报酬,赌场把其从赌客那里赢来的钱的相当部分支付给中介公司,蓝博文说,比澳门支付给中介的40%到50%还要高。
虽然如此,来自中国东北的中介经理汤米·李(Tommy Li)抱怨说,符拉迪沃斯托克的吸引力比澳门小得多,而且冬天这里太冷了。他说,这里对中国赌徒的唯一真正的吸引力是它很近。
他的一个主要抱怨是,这里没有足够多的*河蟹*,他说,澳门有更多、而且更便宜的*河蟹*。担任公司财务总监的蓝博文表示,自己的公司没有提供*河蟹*的业务,而且“希望看到所有非法活动被取缔”。
但他也说,符拉迪沃斯托克有“许多其他服务的提供商”,为满足赌徒的所有需求做好了准备。

[Event] Russian elections — the day all went haywire

The Moscow Times rang everywhere, as people scrolled through their apps, not believing what has happened. Civil unrests and riots happened throughout Russia, from Sevastopol, to Vladivostok. For the first time in Russian history, a party other than United Russia had won. And Russia did not seem united.
A whole lot has changed since the last election. As Medvedev steps down as president, it is easy to see the changes in Russian society and say that nothing has happened. Nothing has changed. The people are angry, and want change. As the Russian political system became more polarized, things especially went sour.
The most notable change would be the collapse of the communist party. The infighting, the decline in membership, and the corruption unearthed in the party has made the party explode in a fashion similar to the Soviet Union. From the remnants and decays of this, five major parties exist, and only one holds a seat — Mandel Nikolas, which dedicated and strong faction has made it stick out against the others. Every party holds a cult of personality for its leader however, and without a uniting character like Zyuganov to rally around, the party has officially lost its status as the opposition.
Replacing it as the left wing with a vengeance has been the A Just Russia party, whose new Democratic socialist stance has earned it the following of a number of ex-communists. After unification with Yabloko and the Alliance of Greens and Social Democrats, its earned a large left-wing following, that unlike the center-right United Russia, has made it very popular. The party, no longer directed by Mironov, is being guided now by the more charismatic, and slightly younger, Matthias Gandchehra, a Russian-born man who lived in New York when he was younger, who believes that the main problem with Russia not being a developed country is because of the upper class of Russia. As stated in his speech, "We need tah make corruption with da highah class nonexistent now. Russia is not runned by the people, but by the milyunares, dah bilyunares, dah oligawks, and dah one puh-cent. We gawt tah legalize marihuana, we got tah raise da minimum wage, and we need change in Russia — YUGE change."
The United Russia party has not been doing well either. Struggling to get on its feet, a huge scandal arised when Sergei Ivanov was kicked out of the party, for possible assassination attempts against his political opponent Viktor Ichkov. Ivanov immediately claimed he was being framed by United Russia, and claimed that they had only made such baseless accusations and charges to prevent him from getting more power in the kremlin. Ivanov decided to take the case to court against United Russia, and won, however eventually ended up losing anyways to the center-right allegedly corrupt candidate — who views theirselves as the most reasonable candidate, despite having refused to hold any press conferences during the entire election, and using multiple cards to defend himself against difficult questions against debates. This sank the support of United Russia, and caused it to fall in a downward spiral.
But perhaps what was most surprising, was the rise of the LPDR. After the death of Zhirinovsky, the future looked bleak for the party, as the main focus was around his candidacy. Yet, the party like a phoenix rose from the ashes with the candidacy of Stepan Vladinodsky. A far right-wing fringe, he had never held office before, and has generally shown to be unknown in his political views. As a wealthy real-estate mogul and owner of multiple foreign casinos, however, he's been listed as one of the most recognized people in Russian society of the modern day, especially known due to his construction in repairing Sochi as a major Russian city again, and for his real-estate tactics that has made his name plastered onto the tallest building in Moscow. Despite this, he had alienated a majority of Russians — from his inaptness in foreign policy (believing that Ukraine were enemies), to his racist-filled statements that had gotten the attention of multiple people (stating that he's considering deportation for Chechens due to ISIS, that the rogue Siberians need to learn to accept Russian society, and even getting rid of the Jewish autonomous oblasts).
One of his most ridiculed and criticized statements came even from a debate, where when asked the question "do you think reinstating relations with the Horn and Congo is necessary to preventing aggressive behavior in Africa?", he responded with "I would kill those n***ers before accepting any type of blame on this shit." His slogan, "Russia is the future," has riled supporters from all over the conservative regions to his cause, being even called "Vladimir PigPutin" as a nickname. Originally [A Just Russia] calling him the name as a part of their smear campaign on him, he simply laughed it off and encouraged his supporters to call him that. He supports a reversal on Russian gun control laws, Russian border control laws, developing the military even more, and a reversal on environmental and pro-minority laws. He's been called an "authoritarian prick" by Medvedev, a "corrupt piece of shit to work with" by one of his former co-workers, and a "delusional man" by his ex-wife who he divorced due to her communist stance. His stance on bringing back the orthodox religion has also appealed to the majority of religious people.
When the ballots came in, nobody could believe it. Russia went mad.
Candidate Party Percentage
Stepan Vladinodsky (Vladimir PigPutin) LPDR 48.4%
Matthias Gandchehra A Just Russia 28.5%
Viktor Ichkov Untied Russia 19.9%
Mandel Nikolas Communist motherland 1.2%
Igor Vladourin Independent 1.1%
Invalid/Blank/Other 0.9%

Vladivostok visa free regime - updates?

Last year it was announced that from 1 January 2016, there would be a visa-free regime in place in Vladivostok for stays in Russia of up to 8 days (I think in addition to the existing 72 hour regime for cruise passengers).
It was delayed, and here is an article indicating the new start date would be 1 July, which was repeated as recently as April as far as I've been able to find.
Does anyone know more about this or what the current status of the plan is?
