They tottered nervously on high heels and wore pink shirts emblazoned with the likeness of their hero: Vladimir Putin. Meet Putin's Army, a new group aiming to get their man back into the Kremlin.
About 20 of Putin's teenage "soldiers" gathered in Pushkin Square in central Moscow at rush hour on Friday, shouting his name and singing the 2006 hit A Man Like Putin.
The gathering came less than a week after the group, organised via a Russian social network, released a racy video calling on "young, smart and beautiful girls" to join their ranks and support Putin for president by tearing their shirts in a provocative move renewing the debate on Putin's potential return to the Kremlin.
With parliamentary elections less than five months away, and a presidential vote set for next March, Russia's version of electioneering has entered full swing. In addition to social media-originated movements another, called I Really Do Like Putin, held a carwash only for Russian-made vehicles on Thursday full attention has been put on the All-Russia People's Front, an amorphous group created by Putin in May.

Between the ages of 18 and 26 Russian girls match up very well with those in any population on Earth. After that the drop off, due to diet and the stress of life with uncaring and high alcohol consumption boyfriends and husbands, can be striking.
But their "Golden Age" looks can be freaking unbelievable.

I know a little something about Russian women. These chicks have another five years before they’re 250 pounds and wearing babushkas. Please don’t hate me for saying that. It has to do with potatoes and fried lard.

If you look closely theres a clock on that building. I see two clocks on the buildings in pic #1 of post #3. They seem to be out of sync.
Is there anything else worthy of note to be seen in this thread?

I can't find that building but I think the one on the right might be
an astrology clock.

Aside - From the looks of many of those young women it seems that the Germans were rather prolific with their raping in Russia in WWII.

It's a long drive from here, but it might be worth it for that car wash.
