Sovok of the Week

Hello, dear readers of “Sovok of the Week”!

Greetings from Alaska! Some of you probably do not remember me since Boris
and Vadim conveniently sent Igor and me away to Alaska to look at properties
in light of the imminent
sale of Alaska to Russia. [...]

Since our readership wants nothing but to be entertained, we present you with
a rather entertaining video of a toy that was purchased in Russia. It was made,

An Open Letter to my Husband
Igor, Igor. You have been at it again. I’ve just read your piece where
you twist and turn the facts like visitors at a weekly disco held at the “Voronezh
Palace of Culture”. If my memory serves me correctly, you deliberately
misled our readers about some of the activities during that [...]

We are continuing our coverage of the Russian pseudo-lesbian group TATU. Since
the topic is rather adolescent, it is sure to attract numerous hits that our
site yearns for so passionately. As some of you may remember, we wrote a

Here is what one of our readers, Robert,
says about the book: "I have been reading Six Months that Shook the
World, and it is a good book. In
it there are articles that I had not read, and now that they are in a book

Election time in Russia and the US is upon us and we at sovokoftheweek.com
intend to throw our voice into the open vast spaces of the Internet so that
we can incite some strife amongst our sleepy readership, lulled by the comforts

Bulgaria is a prized vacation spot for a Sovok, as everyone who faithfully reads
our site knows. I don’t feel like I have to sing dithyrambs to it here. A Sovok
will find himself at home in this former Socialist republic. One recent report
proves this point very well.
Some Bulgarian Sovok enterpreneur [...]

Many of you have been mesmerized and intrigued by the fate of Anastasia Volochkova,
a Bolshoi ballerina who was fired back in September for her keen interest in
fatty junk
foods. We even nominated her as a "Sovok of the Week" (see our article "Sovok
of the Week Salutes" Bol’shaia Ballerina [...]

Rarely Igor and I promote anything to our wide readership. We are simple folks
and coming to the US is already the best thing that ever happened to us since
we received "Veteran of Socialist Labor" medals in 1982 (Me, Klava) and 1984
(Igor). I remember it was the last year of [...]
