THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MOSCOW
Tagline: The only thing more fragile than a Fabergé egg is an oligarch's wife.

The Wives: Olesya, Irina, Rada, Anastasya, and Valeriya spend their days attending art auctions, their nights at the national symphony, and the rest of the time rejoicing over the devalued dollar. Sometimes, when their husbands are tied up at business conferences in Switzerland and not even vodka tonics can warm them, the wives wonder what Mikhail Baryshnikov is like between the silk sheets.

Pilot: At a Dmitry Medvedev fundraiser at the Kremlin, the wives regale members of the proletariat with tales of their daughters' progress in one-on-one tennis lessons with Maria Sharapova. Their sons, out on the patio smoking Marlboros, debate who looks most like Ivan Drago. Rada's son Grigory confides to the others that he plowed a Chechnyan girl—and liked it.

The Conflict: The wives rush to Olesya's side as she deals with empty castle syndrome. Her 14-year-old daughter Yuliya, an up-and-coming runway model in New York for the spring fashion shows, hasn't been back to her $14 million penthouse at Columbus Circle for days. Irina hears that Yuliya's been crashing at Orlando Bloom's. Can Olesya get Yuliya in line before her father finds out and changes the course of his yacht to confront her himself?
