The Bald-Hairy Theory of Russian Leaders

May 8, 2008 |

The Bald-Hairy Theory of Russian Leaders. I guess this is kind of like how every odd numbered Star Trek movie sucks. Anyway, this is courtesy of Veronica Khokhlova’s run down of Russian Live Journal reactions to Medvedev’s inauguration. It also seems that there are good and bad sides to Kremlin Inc. Sure they provide no space for any opposition and forces people to attend useless Dissenters’ Marches, but at least the inauguration briefly cleaned up Moscow traffic. Says LJ user dolboeb (Anton Nossik):

Dear Dmitry Anatolyevich,

Congratulations on assuming your new post. I hope you enjoyed the ceremony as much as I did. I thank you for providing me with a rare opportunity to see daytime Moscow without traffic jams. Please consider holding inaugurations once every week, preferably on Wednesdays. I think this could contribute to solving many traffic problems of the Russian capital.

Perhaps Kremlin Inc. can bring a few to Los Angeles?

    I never fail to admire those who have the talent to draw caricatures like that. Brezhnev is brilliant.

    The streets being empty doesn’t mean anyone could drive. All the traffic was shut down. How’d we like that in LA?

    And really, dolbo__?

    I remember few times they shut down traffic in LA. It was anything but beautiful.
