Late Russian billionaire’s estate sells Pend Oreille County properties to a tech mogul and the sheriff’s office

When a local real estate agent announced in December the sale of a $14 million ranch in the remote northeast Washington town of Cusick to an anonymous Silicon Valley billionaire, speculation as to the identity of the buyer was only natural.  Less attention, however, has been paid to the identity of the seller, which went unmentioned in nearly all press coverage of the sale: a holding company formerly owned by Russian billionaire, self-professed bank fraudster and accused money launderer Sergey Grishin, who died in Moscow, Russia, under murky circumstances in 2023.

Why Creators Convert

—Beatrice Scudeler

Conversion is a gift of grace, yet human hands participate in God’s providence. In her new book, Melanie McDonagh provides a narrative for the rise of converts between the 1890s and the 1950s. Similar accounts have been given before—notably Joseph Pearce’s Literary Converts—but McDonagh’s book is peculiarly ambitious in bringing to light the conversion stories of all kinds of artists and intellectuals: writers, painters, poets, philosophers.
