Thirty years ago, smugglers risked life and limb smuggling contraband media from the West into the Soviet Union, and a fair whack of experts in the field even reckon good ol’ fashioned rock & roll played its part in the downfall of Russian Communism. Peep this video of Moscow going boonta for Metallica in 1991, for example – not exactly traditional fodder for the proletariat.
Anyway, times have changed. Right about now, the most hardcore thing Barack Obama gets up to is sinking mad putts on the green, while Russian president Vladimir Putin is knee-deep in a hyper-macho assault on Western sensibilities. As the most metal head of state out there rn, Putin’s gone and changed the game again, dropping another topless calendar for 2016. The result? Well, now the Russians are sneaking the good stuff out to the West.
Images of the new calendar are scant – much like Putin’s clothing, tbh. Still, they’re pointing towards an equally steamy and sensitive 2016.
Come to think of it, you’ve gotta lift your calendar game too, Malc.
