Girls from Moscow State University posed in their lingerie for a bizarre erotic calendar in celebration of prime minister Vladimir Putin’s 58th birthday on October 7. Calendar called ‘The Vladimir Vladimirovich, We love you. Happy Birthday Mr Putin’ calendar features 12 lingerie-clad journalism students in sultry poses.
Some 50,000 copies of the calendar went on sale earlier this week. Each pic is accompanied by saucy messages for the prime minister such as ‘you put out the forest fires, but I’m still burning’.
Miss December even left her phone number and invited Putin to call her for a personal birthday message.
One of the calendar’s creators, Maxim Perlin, said that it has an empowering message. He added that the models are posing in their underwear because it is ‘more beautiful and more interesting’.
However, the calendar has not proved popular with the faculty at Moscow State University, with a spokeswoman for the journalism department stating it is a ‘work of erotic tastelessness’.
In 2008, Kremlin-linked fashion designer Antonia Shapovalova created a range of underwear emblazoned with the slogan ‘Vova, I’m with you’ – a term of affection for Putin.
