Obligatory Russian Drinking Scene by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

My 38th submission to DYOS VI.

Remember that reference to Diplomat-Pope a few comics ago? I can't recall the specifics, but something happened to Pope Benedict in the story (heck, Stylesrj invaded Heaven earlier), and true to my no-thread-left-dangling maxim, I figured I'd humour Styles' idea for succession. What he failed to register in his follow-up where he proclaimed Georgy the winner is that the side contest between Kan' and Rasputin drained the pub's stock, so whoever finished that last pitcher won by default. Molotov introduces Georgy Kalanin to Mikhail Kalinin as a distraction to claim it.

Here we also pick up on Tycoon101's neglected arc, which lasted for a handful of cartoons before petering out back in November I think. Aeris was probably the closest to sensible of his motley crew.
