Say "No" to Bombs, "Yes" to Boobs

Historically, Russians have glorified breasts and now the fascination is starting to sublimate into official, online, boobs-related ventures. Let us introduce two projects, which fill the computer screens of most Russians with tits on daily basis.

First is the "Boobs on Saturdays": Artemy Lebedev, Russia' most prominent graphic designer, creator of the Optimus Maximus keyboard and, incidentally, art director of this magazine, runs a hugely popular rubric in his LiveJournal blog. It's called "Сиськи" (boobs). Lebedev asks his female readers to send a photo of their boobs with two conditions: the breasts' owner's face must be visible and she has to display her LiveJournal username. Every post creates an instant and short-lived sex symbol of the Russian blogosphere. Lebedev runs the column every Saturday; each post gets up to several hundred comments.

Second project is a startup called OBoobs.ru, whose aim, according to the founders, is "to create a terrible-porn-banner-free environment where users can enjoy looking at naked women." Doesn't this mission sound very convincing? The site allows users to upload their own photos and sort the library by size, naturalness, quality of photography and fame. At press time, there were only two "famous boobs" images on display, one of which being a scan of the Citizen K magazine cover.

Here are some of the photos from the Lebedev's LiveJournal blog:

Dasha, 22 years old. LiveJournal username: Black_Mist

LiveJournal username: Sorrow_7

Emma, 26 years old. LiveJournal username:Emka-82

Belarus Suffers Porn Shortage

 by Katya Tylevich
In an otherwise alarming report about Internet crimes, this hilarious bit of information from news site Lenta.ru: at present, there’s no porn of any kind on Belarusian Internet servers. That's right, zero porn. This according to officials from the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs, who claim instead that the majority of Internet porn comes from countries like the United States. Ironclad logic here: the U.S. has a lot of porn, so we must have none. If this is some sort of New Cold War strategy, we’re not sure to whose advantage it’s working.

Patriotic Baby Names On Rise; Playground Beatings Likely To See Increase

 by Katya Tylevich
Aw. If it isn’t little Privatizatsia ("Privatization") and darling Viagra, two Russian newborns who stand almost no chance of leading happy childhoods thanks to the names bestowed upon them by their loving parents. In Soviet times, it was not unusual to have a friend named Stalina or an enemy named Ninel (read it backwards for a “come on” moment). In fact, early Bolsheviks were suckers for “Red Baptisms” which branded miserable young souls with names like Melor (acronym for “Marx Engels Lenin October Revolution”). Today, the Moscow registry office notes an increase in modern equivalents of politicized or otherwise attention-getting monikers. Patriotism is stimulus for a name like Kosmos ("Space"), of course, but there’s also the idea that a child named for a prescription boner drug will stand out next to a ho-hum Volodya or Katya, and profit for it. Might as well just name the kid “Opportunist” and be done with it.
