The Russian blogosphere conveniently, if bafflingly, revolves around LJ. Each week, RUSSIA! scans the chatter and brings you the top five topics.

• Russia's first reality TV show ever took place in a grand hotel with one-way mirrors replacing half the walls. And now, there's this probable little project that, according to screenshots from blogger rovego, seems to consist entirely of Olya "Superblond" Polyakova, who is a sort of pop star or something, walking around naked in her apartment, live. This is to the disdain and delight of the general Lj-commenting public, and occasionally inspirational: "I've got an idea for a show: an escaped convict is chased by dogs through the forest and armed with a shotgun, live." [Оля Полякова]

• Ten billboards of Stalin in full military garb with the red slogan "Victory Will Be Ours!" appeared around Voronezh, privately brokered by the Communist Party of Russia. A city commissioner ordered the billboards to be taken down, as they're not advertising an actual product or a social message. Burn. The post prompts this lovely exchange: "When will those red-bellied freaks die already?" "As soon as the last bourgeoisie bitch keels off." [Билборды с изображением Сталина]

The Return of Joseph Stalin - this time it's personal!

• The latest annoying media circus trailing Premier Putin followed him into a popular supermarket. At the sausage counter, a stern Putin compared the prices to some chart and scorned the owner for the 52% and 120% pork mark-ups. The owner promised to change the prices tomorrow. So that's how you get things done in Moscow... randomly! [Всем сестрам – по серьгам]

Nothing escapes the stern judgment of Putin

• Blogger ottenki-serogo intensely postulates the philosophy of aesthetic judgement and futility of artistic ranking and presents photos from an annual car art contest. Designs include gold brick, ironic crucifixion, lovely Russian lake-side nature scenes, Medvedev, NYC skyline, Hedgehog in the Fog, and traditional blue gjel print with an actual samovar and bubliks on the hood. Art-criticism commentary ranges from "90% terrible tastelessness" to "Aaaa)))) How awesoooooooooome!!!!!!Thaaank you!!!!" [Фестиваль живописи на автомобилях «АЭРОГРАФ»]

Anyone for tea?

• And now, for some cross-cultural fun, here are ten best drinking scenes from popular movies, tirelessly curated by Russian bloggers and featuring sad and dizzy youtubed scenes from films like Leaving Las Vegas, the Shinning, Casablanca, Animal House and Bridget Jones Diary (seriously). Some commenters argue against these "cinematic lies," as such a delicate, picturesque balance between too-little-to-be-interesting and beligerently-vomiting-on-passerby is quite difficult to achieve in reality. But we can try, oh yes, we can try. [И немедленно выпил: 10 алко-сцен в кино]

Ah, those cinematic lies...
