The latest rage in the Urals
I need to go back to Russia so I can purchase a stuffed rabbit that sings "Takogo kak Putin."
Ryan sent me the link this morning:
MOSCOW (AFP) - Stuffed rabbits singing a pop song proclaiming their love for Russian President Vladimir Putin are selling like hot cakes in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg.
The Chinese-made furry toys costing 140 rubles (five dollars) apiece have been all the rage in local markets for the past two months, the daily Komsomolskaya Pravda reported Wednesday.
Their unique selling point is their singing of a pop song called "Like Putin" that was all the rage in Russia in 2002 and whose refrain went:
"I want to change my guy
For a man like Putin,
One like Putin who is so strong,
One like Putin who doesn't drink,
One like Putin who won't insult me,
One like Putin who won't leave me."

hey i am a high school student in Deleware. For our final project we have to write a 10 - 12 page paper. i chose to write mine on Putin and his hybrid Democracy. This is an excellent source that i would love to use for the portion on excessive use of propaganda. I am wondering where i could reach the article that this came from?
thanks so much - Brian
