Gorbachev Records Album, World Survives

by Marina Galperina
Gorbachev—one of Russia's most simultaneously reverenced and reviled political figures—recently showed his tender side by recording an album of romantic ballads. Sold exclusively at a charitable auction, it's unavailable to the general public, but thanks to us and the internet, you are now welcome to sneak-peek of some musical glasnost.

The Bull, the Bear, Art, War, Sex and Trouble

by Marina Galperina
Bad politics breeds good reactionary art. Throw in some pornography, profanity, and hard-headed art-activists, and - as the director of the Central Art House learned last weekend - there'll be a public shit storm. The lesson: next time, don't invite the Moscow art-group War to participate unless you're down with conceptual art orgies... or willing to call the cops.
