Breaking: Russians Enjoy Breasts, Preferably Naked

What's that, Russia! magazine? You say that Russians like boobs—and they especially like looking at them unclothed and on the internet? Why that's...not at all surprising. (But thanks for the hot links—we owe you one!) (readrussia.com, thumbnail)

Anna Starshenbaum: From Russia, With (Naked) Love

We must admit, we had no idea that Russia had such beautiful, pristine beaches...though we're less surprised to learn that Russia's beaches are filled with gorgeous topless women along the order of Anna Starshenbaum. More »

#questionsoftravel

Germans are apparently complaining that they can't go on vacation to Turkey without the Russians coming down and spoiling everything with their "whores and vodka". Um, aren't whores and vodka pretty much the reason you would go on vacation to begin with? (thelocal.de; thumb and vodka gallery via assexyasitgets.com)

#cheerleaders

Russia may be a strategic rival with mysterious habits and different tastes in porn from the kind that we're used to ... but that doesn't mean they don't know how to put together a good cheerleading squad. They may be many things, but they're not uncivilized. (englishrussia.com)

#news

Yes folks, the rumors are true: "A monument to the enema ... has been unveiled ... in the ... Russian city of Zheleznovodsk." Which may be all you need to know about that story (and all we can quote, given the bipolar disease affecting the Associated Press these days). The gist is that the hamlet in question is known for its enemas—which would perhaps make it the sister city of Washington, D.C., which is known for its douchebags. (Consider that our humble wakka-wakka to the late, great, George Carlin.) (msn.com + nytimes.com + cnn.com)

Student Sex Parties: Where Delicious Food, Cold Beer, And Hot Boobs Are Always On The Menu

Why yes, poking fun at the oddly translated English-language copy on some foreign produced websites really is as easy as shooting those proverbial fish in a barrel, and is a form of humor which really ought to be beneath us. That said, we're at least as tickled by the merrily convoluted scene descriptions at the evidently former Eastern Bloc-produced Student Sex Parties as we are by the scenes themselves, which seem to feature mostly students at the continuing education end of the university spectrum. Join us after the jump for some of StudentSexParties.com's more delightful descriptive moments ... and pity us that our own bright college days weren't nearly this interesting. More »

Attack Of The Penis Copter

Oh, those crazy Russian activists! They interrupted a speech by chess champ turned politician Gary Kasparov with some sort of flying dildo contraption. But they sure made their point! (Wait, was their point again?) Click for video and the security guard's King Kong reaction. More »

Faux-Lesbian Russian Pop Star Update: t.A.T.u. Uncensored

Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova may be the most popular singing duo that no one has ever heard sing: that's because when t.A.T.u performs, no one is really there to listen to the music. But by filling their stage act and music videos with unrepentant sexual teasing, they've made quite a name for themselves. We first saw the video for their single "White Robe" a few months and were naturally intrigued by the communist-era women-behind-bars imagery, but found it a little ... lacking. Until this weekend, when our inbox flooded with helpful tipsters pointing us to the uncensored version, which despite the gratuitous boobage has miraculously managed to stay up on YouTube for over a month. The nudity may be brief, but it's still glorious and it's worth sticking around for the surprise twist ending. (Even if the whole thing makes no actual sense. You can check out the English language version too and see if that helps.) More »

#loveandmarriage

Remember that hot Russian gymnast that Vladimir Putin recruited to serve in Parliament? Apparently, he liked her political skills so much that he dumped his wife to marry her. The fact that she's half his age and very flexible is probably just a coincidence. (canadafreepress.com)

Russian Bank Pinup Babes Invite You To Make A Deposit

While perestroika inaugurated a system of economic reforms that resulted in the collapse of the Soviet Union, let's not forget that it also ultimately allowed hot Russian bank tellers to become pin-up calendar girls ... all in the name of improved international relations! Retail and commercial banking group Expobank has published a customer giveaway calendar featuring twelve of the bank's sexiest employees, scantily clad in provocative poses with tongue-in-cheek bank slogans, as a promotion for VIP clients. "I keep getting compliments about the calendar from my VIP clients, especially from the men — but the women say nice things too," Miss March Anna Pogodina was quoted as saying in the Daily Mail this weekend. "I didn't expect, when I was having my picture taken, that I would see my name and full job title on the calendar. I was really surprised — and rather pleased." It does make you wonder, though, why these women are working in a bank. Imagine if Gisele Bündchen was processing the paperwork for your car loan? - JC More »

Naked Candidates Make Russian Politics Even More Interesting

No sooner had we trained our politically scientific eye to the French political scene, then we stumbled on this even sexier development from the country formerly known as the Soviet Union. It seems that current Russian overlord Vladimir Putin discovered a better way to distract voters from his policies than dating a sexy French pop star—he recruited several of the country's former Olympic athletes to ruin for parliamentary elections under his party banner. The only requirements were that they be sexy and female, but that was apparently enough to get them all elected. We're sure it had nothing to do with the relative un-freeness of the Russian voting system and everything to with their, uh ... qualifications, which you can see below. Maybe if our Libertarian or Green parties had thought of this tactic we wouldn't be in the state we're in now. More »

#tehinternets

So what do radical Islamists do in their spare time? According to a group of Russian hackers who infiltrated one of their websites and installed a keystroke logging program to record their web surfing habits, they like to kick back with some hot erotic fiction and amateur and tranny porn. Looks like we have a lot more in common with these folks than we thought! (mypetjawa.mu.nu)

Fans of teenage Russian lesbians will be happy to know that pop sensations Tatu are back and appearing in the pages of Maxim ... and this time, they're legal (and pregnant)! Which may not be good news for certain teenage Russian lesbian fans among you, but it suits the rest of us just fine. (maximonline.ru; see video here + more @ torontopics.com)

#contests

The arms race may be over (er, right?), but that doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of hot Russian women (most of whom seem to be named Tatiana) hard at work on their nation's nuclear program. Hopefully our own nuclear research initiatives are keeping up—we'd hate to get caught behind. (miss2007nuclear.ru, via Xfanz)

Roman Gorchakov's Russian Heat

We're used to thinking of Russia as cold, grey, and eternally Dostoyevskian ... but Roman Gorchakov's photographs aren't any of those things: in fact, they're almost Southern Californian in their bright, saturated colors and carefree, breezy demeanor. Oh, and did we mention they're really sexy too? We don't know what the Russian equivalent of "alt" is, but some of Gorchakov's models wouldn't look out of place on Burning Angel or other places where hot naked babes in thigh high striped stockings congregate. We also don't know how to say "totally fucking hot" in Russian, but for his sake we might have to learn that as well. More »

#drunkrussianchicksgonewild

So, like, did anyone hear the one about the Russian nightclub that was closed down after a senator walked in and caught two chicks giving a blowjob to a Nigerian stripper while the DJ played the national anthem in the background? Neither had we, after seeing the kind of things that go in in Russian nightclubs, we can only assume that counted as a slow evening. (sexisthenewblog.com)

Looking Deeper: Nudes By Kirill Borgia

Unlike a lot of photographers who specialize in "classy" artistic nudes, Russian artist Kirill Borgia seems to have a healthy fascination with and respect for the vagina. (Hey, who doesn't?) From the back or the front, close up or a distance, he's not afraid to feature the magic spot prominently in any of his images. Of course, other parts of the body get shown off too, and they're all attached to those natural Eastern Eurobabes we've come to know so well. See? It doesn't always have to be about the boobs. Ok, maybe a little bit. Not 100% though. More »

#strangebrew

And in further condom news today ... Free condoms? Awesome. Free condoms found at the bottom of your beer bottle? Not so awesome. A Russian brewery is being sued after a man discovered a condom wrapper and some torn latex inside his beer bottle. We want to know what kind of action is going on at this brewery: we've all heard of beer goggles, but this is just too much. (afp.google.com)

BDSM Online: From Russia With Latex

Kink must be the universal language, because even though the sprawling BDSMOnline.ru is in Russian, we have no trouble understanding it. There's a vast database of photos, drawings and comics from artists all over the world who take the fetish lifestyle as their main source of inspiration: all the whips, ball gags, and gimp masks your pervy little heart could ever desire. With such a huge gallery and wide range of images, it's hard to focus in on any one artist, but we will admit a particular fondness for the art of Trevor Brown and Brian Tarsis. (Not to mention this image: Marge Simpson, we had no idea!) More »

We're not totally convinced that men's underwear drives women to distraction—or blasphemy—especially when they aren't wearing them. Most dudes don't even want to be near those thing come laundry day. (webpark.ru)

Russia is so serious about repopulating their country with loyal patriots, they're even giving citizens a day off of work to fuck. America must respond to this challenge! Friday would be good for us. (denverpost.com, via flauntingit.com)

Yes, the girl in this semi-amateur porno looks a little like Miss Russia 2006 Tatiana Kotova, but since we don't speak Russian (or Spanish, oddly enough) it will take a lot more to convince us. We wouldn't put anything past a pageant contestant though. (xxxmofo.com + rian.ru)

Ukrainian Photo Hotness From QwertyCrimea

Keyboard jokes always make us giggle, which is probably why we find QwertyCrimea's internet handle so amusing. But we're not laughing at his portfolio of nude photos filled with gorgeous Eastern European models. Maybe it takes a certain sense of humor to capture all these smoldering babes on film, while still keeping your images classy and tasteful, but the whole thing is over our heads. As far as we can recall, there was absolutely nothing sexy about our old typing class, but those fingering exercises sure have come in handy. More »

#forcedmating

A new Russian youth movement is encouraging kids to bone like crazy in order to solve the country's dwindling population problem/build a new fascist Red Army. Good, because we were just thinking the other day about how much fun the Cold War used to be. (dailymail.co.uk, via Jezebel)

G-Models: More Incomprehensible Russian Hotness

About the only thing we can figure out for certain about this portfolio of hot glamourpuss models is that the G in the title probably stands for the first initial of the photographer, Gennadiy Pratsevich, whose name we managed to suss out in Cyrillic from the half semester of Russian we took back in college. (OK, the fact that it's transliterated on what we assume is his "About" page helped too ... but at least give us credit for trying.) As for other questions raised by his work—like why the whole split-juicy-melon-between-a-naked-model's-legs thing never ceases to be sexy no matter how many times we've seen it, or why that pantsless model in the leather jacket and shiny thigh-high boots is pooping out a furry boa—well, we're afraid you're on your own. Surely we don't have to do all the work around here? More »

Russian men are reportedly paying big bucks to have sex with "disfigured" prostitutes, which apparently include anorexic ones and those who have had lip injections to make themselves look more like Jenna Jameson.
