Happy Soviet Year

It is official and very serious. For New Year's Eve, the Kremlin is organizing a party 'Back in USSR' (in English on the invitation). The ceremony will be held in an official residence of the government, outside Moscow, and will be presented by a look-alike from Brejnev. It will gather not less than 350 guests. Another look-alike from Alla Pugatchova (famous soviet star, still very famous and visible now) will be there - I've got one question, why not to pay the real one to come?

Apparently the main host, playing the ex-General Secretary of the Central Comitee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1982, will inspire himself with some soviet speeches to spread some gifts to the winners of a kind of lottery during the evening.

Well, what to expect now for next year? Staline kissing the employees' children?

Make Love, Not Worm

The longest conversations in Moscow these days are about the 'Kremlin Worm'. Found in his plate by Dmitry Zelenin (governor of Tverskaya region) during an official lunch at the Kremlin, that little animal is raising interest until the highest level of the Russian political hierarchy. Actually, the modern Zelenin put that photo on his twitter and created one of the most incredible scandals (he removed the photo since then, understanding his unfortunate provocation). Medvedev wanted to fire him, a lot of blogs mentioned him, jokes are already circulating, foreign press is making fun about him...and our little friend has got even his own twitter now http://twitter.com/KremlinCherv.

You don't have to be fat and impressive to succeed in Russia. A star is born.

Blue Bucket Fight

I was mentioning the movement few days ago, first I was seeing that in Russia - http://brisonslaglace.blogspot.com/2010/05/bleu-bonheur.html. Things are getting tougher. Brave and senseful.

Reagan and Soviet Jokes

Propaganda on the other side of the Atlantic. Funny anyway...

For All Women

International Women's Day today. While Medvedev is dining with Carla, Patricia and Mylène in Paris, our Prime Minister is delivering everyday sex symbol attitude throughout the country. Enjoy, ladies...

Inconnu au Bataillon

Kremlin Park

Les chutes de neige et l'omniprésence du pouvoir ne font pas que des malheureux (aucun rapport en plus, me direz-vous). Bref, ces groupes d'enfants n'en font pas grand cas et ont aménagé leur descente pour luge sur les murs du Kremlin sous les yeux amusés des passants et de la police.

Comme quoi, à force de dire ce qu'il ne faut pas faire, les gens se placent eux-même dans une situation de peur. Les gamins ont juste vu une bonne piste pour s'éclater. Et personne n'est venu demander leurs papiers. De toute façon, ils les ont perdus dans la descente.
