Vybor Awards

March 4, 2008 |

Every genre of the entertainment world has its own award shows. Theater has the Tony. Movies the Oscars. Music the Grammys. Why not elections? I bet the Russian election is a cesspool of some classic moments. So . . .

For his role in “Take him out . . . And shoot the scoundrel!” the best actor award goes to . . . Vladimir Zhirinovsky!

If anyone else has any Russian Presidential gems send them to awards@seansrussiablog.org. Nominations can be text, video, audio, document, anything. I’ll try to organize a panel of Russia blogger judges. Maybe it is damn time to have an awards.

Here are the categories:

Best Actor
Best Speaker
Best Line
Craziest
Best Propaganda
Best Whiner

 Best Villain
Best Hero
Best English Article
Best Russian Article
Stalin Prize
Lenin Prize

    Have you ever seen the 1996 Zhirinovsky election poster with him in a Helloween t-shirt?

    Nomination for “The craziest” (or, probably, the Lenin prize): Vladimir Churin on the press-conference on 13 Feb: “The most intriguing thing in these elections is who will win.”

    I would have liked to have seen that guy beat the crap out of Zhirinovsky. How great would that have been - the representative of they wussy, effeminate liberals laying the beat down! I’m sure it would’ve shocked the heck out of Zhiri.

    Smart kids in Perm!
