#100: Mikhail Zadornov
Yesterday I watched Russian stand-up comedian Mikhail Zadornov, who is known for his anti-Americanism (his famous line is "Американцы - тупые!" - Americans are dumb!) and self-flagellation of Russia and Russians. However, that is not the point in his show which is aired by RenTV. For the first time he criticized, or more accurately, ridiculed the Russian government, including President Putin.
Zadornov compared United Russia, pro-Putin party, to the bear in Russian fable Teremok. It is an Aesopian tale about a house shared peacefully by all animal, until a bear, United Russia's symbol, decides that it wants to live in the house and destroys it by his clumsiness and sheer size. He told all this in whisper, while regularly crying out "United Russia is a great party!" I could not believe my eyes. He also turned to the issue of Putin's heir in 2008. He concluded all by saying that if Putin decides to step down in 2008, he will head a new holding RossGosEnergoTVRadioSvyazNeftGazProm, a company which would control gas, oil, electricity, TV and radio, and communications, basically everything in Russia.
I found the video on YouTube. Enjoy!

Too bad I missed it. I can't imagine him saying all that, but imagine how he said "RossGasNeftElektroTVRadioStalProm". Overflowing with sarcasm.
Wow!

SUPER, Aza, thanks! ROFLMAO!!!
i don't know can i tell it nowadays or not. so in a whisper. I don't understand why new names appear-Vladlen-Vladimir Lenin, Daztraperma - da zdravstvuet pervoe maya (да здравствует первое мая). It is time for new names - Daztraput, or in jupan - serevanominoboro - Sergey Ivanov ministr oborony (Сергей Иванов министр обороны). Whe all political scientists think who will be new receiver of Elcin in 2008. To return good for good. New receiver of Putin is Elcin.
Why Putin gather officials from St. Petersburg? May be he wants to get a medal for emancipation of Leningrad. ....
