    Schubert varieties are Borel orbits in homogeneous spaces. The study of their geometric properties is old and well developed. Richardson varieties are defined as intersections of Schubert varieties and `opposite' Schubert varieties, they are also key objects in geometry. The authors prove a very general statement claiming that essentially all questions concerning singularities of Richardson varieties reduce to corresponding questions about Schubert varieties. The properties/quantities reduced from Schubert varieties to Richardson varieties include smoothness and the property `Cohen-Macaulay with rational singularities', as well as multiplicity and H-polynomial. The authors give two versions of their elementary proof, one in the language of algebraic groups and one that avoids it.
