Successfully fighting the severe media recession, a popular magazine uses its glossy pages as God intended: to print photos of stunning naked Russian go-go dancers.
Afisha, a popular Moscow events and listings magazine, found if not innovative then effective way to combat the decline in revenues, experienced by most Russian publishers. The solution: print what people want. And what do people want amid a flow of gloomy economic and political news? Photos of beautiful (and naked) blond go-go dancers from the busiest Moscow night clubs. And, of course, the photos must be accompanied by interviews where girls confirm that (just as we expected) they are also getting their degrees in economics, don't have sex with clients and want to find a good husband soon.
Our friends at the Afisha publishing house confirm that the "Striptease" issue is likely to become one of the most popular issues this year.
Yes, we know, it's not really "news"; we just wanted to brag a little and give a small hint to our editor.
So, meet some of the girls:
