Sovok of the Week

It has finally happened! The day that the USSR waited for so long and never lived to witness is here. The country that for so long has prided itself in standing on the solid foundation of free market and staunch capitalism has not only nationalized a series of powerful businesses, but has also become a landlord [...]

As I am thinking about this year’s election (I voted by the absentee ballot, by the way) and watching presidential debates, I can’t shake off the feeling that I really dislike undecided voters. They are to blame for the prolonged campaign. What kind of a cave you should live in in order not to be [...]

Greetings, reader(s),
SOTW is back from a whirlwind vacation in Eastern Europe. It is a fun place to visit and to be from, but I would recommend having second thoughts about staying for good in Montenegro. Sadly, it is largely because of the large number of Sovoks roaming and driving the streets of Budva and Kotor. 
Speaking [...]

The other day, while in Ann Arbor, I stopped by an intimidating palace of food that goes by the name “Whole Foods.” As I pulled into a parking lot filled with gas-guzzling SUVs and flashy imported vehicles in my Festiva, I could not help noticing happy shoppers leaving the store carrying shopping-bags. Not plastic bags [...]

American men: looking for love in the Baltics

This is precious: “I used to date blondes,” he said, but he now favors darker-haired women with blue or green eyes, who are taller than him, have undemanding personalities, arent competitive and want children.”

So, let me get this traight. This slob wants someone who would accept his sorry [...]

“Sovok of the Week” has never been big on hipsters, those annoying emaciated self-righteous gas-bags who wear ironic T-shirts and complicated shoes. Now, if a hipster lives in New York or another big city, we can respect his/her quest for coolness and self-expression. It is quite another thing when one encounters a home-grown hipster-wanna-be [...]

I am thinking … I wish Misha would have thought of a way to install our SOTW flag on the North Pole … All our financial problems would have gone away …

As you can see, SOTW has a new look-leaner, easier to navigate, and more pleasing to the eye, I hope.
You probably have figured out that in no way I would be able to do such a fantastic job of moving it to a new platform had it not been for some outside help. In the [...]

As I am still traveling and participating in various shenanigans and money-making schemes, bloggers still discover our website and comment on it. Here is something from "Megan Case 2.0":
"Sovok of the Week, also linked in the post below, is a site I’ve stumbled across a few times, always meaning to read more… I just took [...]

"Sovok of the Week" will go on a two-months long vacation. I will still post things, but probably on a much more relaxed schedule.
 
See you back in September!

Most certainly, dear reader, you stumbled across our humble website while searching for "yung Russian bride to merry" (yep, another 1000 hits just for this little string) or some other questionable material. Alas, we have to admit that we deliberately insert misspelled provocative words so that unsuspecting search bots would direct love-seekers to our site. [...]

I swear, one can’t make this up …
“A hen party literally brought the house down in Serbia after climbing on roof support pillars to get a better look at a male stripper.
The group that included female bank directors, lawyers, and even a local MP were among 200 women who piled into the club in Novi [...]

As I am very busy trying to shake off British and US spies who are dead set on persuading me to work for them, or at least handing over to them the SOTW membership list, I thought I would pause for a little bit and enjoy some quality music. Please join me!

The latest diplomatic row between Great Britain and Russia over the murder of an ex-KGB spy Litvinenko is nothing but total nonsense. After a short trip to England I can testify that nowhere in Europe Russians feel as welcome as in the UK.
What are some things that make the Russians and the British like each [...]

Dear readers,
I am still stuck in Liverpool, England, where I am trying to collect the monies that are due to me. I am doing fine, thank you, staying at a youth hostel and cooking all of my meals with the use of an iron-it makes a great hot plate. England is very expensive for a [...]

Yeltsin is dead. I will truly miss him. But I am not sure that I will remember him as "a man on the tank," as CNN is porttraying him … :
"One of the images most associated with Yeltsin is that of him sitting on a tank during the raucous street rallies that marked the coup [...]

We have already told you how we feel about Sacha Baron Cohen and his "Borat" movie. You can understand our utter disgust with the "Red Baron" better if you look at the movie ad to the right (and below) which I scanned from a recent Maxim magazine.

Uh? You didn’t get it? OK, DJ VadimJ is [...]
