Depardieu to launch business in Russia
Russia
France’s high-profile actor and former top-rate taxpayer, Gerard Depardieu, has returned to his new home in Saransk, the capital city of Russia’s Mordovia region, where he got registered as an entrepreneur with the local revenue service.
The French film star has already announced his plans to set up a Depardieu culture center that will be managing the actor’s business projects. He is also expected to go ahead with his promise to open a restaurant in Saransk, a vow the French legend-turned-Russian-citizen made during his last trip to Mordovia.
Gerard Depardieu was handed a Russian passport in January 2013, after flying to Russia for a late-night dinner with President Putin. He was instantly offered to head Mordovia's culture ministry, a post he politely turned down, Vesti.ru reported.
Depardieu allegedly gave up French citizenship after a dustup over tax policy of France’s ruling coalition.
