Lebedev, President Mikhail Gorbachev and Geordie Greig, editor of the Evening Standard, hosted the fifth Russian Midsummer Fantasy in aid of the Raisa Gorbechev Foundation, which fights childhood cancer. Last June 5, Evgeny Lebedev transformed the grounds of his house in Hampton Court into a Russian church, with a bell tower and the roof of the temporary dining room based on that in St Basil’s Cathedral. Were guests of this exceptionally glamorous event, Jamie Cullum, Emelia Fox, Natalia Vodianova, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Cyrus Vandrevala, JK Rowling, Yasmin and Simon Le Bon.
The most coveted auction prize is dinner with the Man Who Changed the World. Last year private equity investor Cyrus Vandrevala bid £75,000 for it and joined President Gorbachev with his family in Moscow; the previous year it went to Hugh Grant, and before that the mobile phone tycoon John Caudwell.
