| October 12, 6:00 PM Bad Art For Putinby Marina Galperina | August 17, 11:40 PM Moscow’s White-collar Fight Clubby Frederick Bernas | August 5, 9:00 PM Country Battles Heat Wave, Loses (Photos)by Tatyana Bokova-Foley | | So, Shepard "Hope Poster" Fairey is still trying to ride that co-opted optimism wave — he's just co-edited the new Art for Obama book. Well, Russia's got a dusty stockpile of old presidential art too. Well, it's not "presidential" anymore/yet (Medvedev's still keeping Putin's seat warm for him until the next election). And it's less art-book and more tacky-thrift-store material, mostly. But let's dig through the pile anyway, because Yes, We Can Too... kind of. | While you won’t see Brad Pitt getting a bloody nose from some anonymous office face with chronic insomnia, Moscow’s new October Boxing Club hints at a similar concept. | As Moscow battles the unprecedented heat wave (this weekend is expected to the hottest ever here with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius / 104 F), it finds itself completely unprepared for such extreme weather, making it yet harder for Muscovites. |

Staff | | A turbulent economy and soaring real estate prices that transformed Moscow into one of the most exciting cities in the world, failed to reach for Kasimov, a small town a mere 150 miles East of Russian capital. Russia! continues its apparently doomed search for a decent breakfast in the provincia. | Brezhnev and Honecker's ferocious make-out painted on the Berlin Wall has just been white-washed. But do not fear - the deadly lovers will be back in all their symbolic glory as Russian artist Dmitri Vrubel recreates the mural in time for the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Wall. | The heat wave in Moscow breaks all temperature records possible. All air conditioners are sold out, the government is taking emergency measures to help farmers amid the worst draught in 130 years, people are drowning while trying to cool off, and the Kremlin guard regiment has been cancelled due to danger of heat exhaustion. |
