PRAVDA 5

Sick to death of daily newspapers and rolling news channels? Here's a much-needed dose of Pravda.

USSR's First And Only President
Included in this otherwise dreary anniversary story is Gorbachev's strategic blunder that was to be the sole cause for the demise of the mighty Soviet Union: his anti-alcohol campaign. Let that be a lesson to any would-be despots.

Amazing Creatures Of Deep Polar Waters
Pravda is excellent for these fascinating off-beat science stories which allow our hidden child's imagination to come out to play.

Alexander Pushkin Can Be Cloned
I think Sergei Malinkevich is absolutely right: we should ignore those old fuddy-duddies in the Russian Orthodox Church and use this sample to clone Pushkin and see if it will give us a new genius.

The Russian girlband "Reflex" look rather fetching!

A mishmash of gratuitous upskirt photography and peculiarly dressed shots with tigers. Followed by a bizarre titled article on rape, directly underneath! Sheesh.
