Russian MP Completes Sex Movie Depicting Ukrainian PM, Georgian
President
MosNews
Russian parliamentarian Aleksei Mitrofanov of the notorious LDPR
party reported this week that he had completed shooting a 26-minute
soft porn titled Yulia. The main actors in the film have the same
first names and bear a striking resemblance to Ukrainian Prime
Minister Yulia Timoshenko and Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili.
The popular Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda has published an
extensive report about the film. The article said that the producer
had to abandon plans to invite Russian porn star Elena Berkova to
play Yulia Timoshenko as the actress' relatives in Ukraine had been
receiving threats.
Instead, actress Elena Bond was cast to play the role. Ethnic
Armenian Alen Melik-Grigoryan played Georgia's president Saakashvili.
Ukraine and Georgia have both protested against Mitrofanov's project,
and Ukrainian media has spread a rumor that a gay porn film featuring
look-alikes of Russian President Vladimir and former Ukrainian PM
Viktor Yanukovich is being made.
Mitrofanov dismissed all the criticism as groundless. He told the
media that the Yulia film will take foreign relations to new heights
- - literally and figuratively. `Political erotics are a new genre
that I have discovered,' he said. `The film is about politics. It
makes a political statement, they don't just [have sex].'
`Is the film The Interpreter propaganda or big cinema?' Mitrofanov
said. `Is the film JFK propaganda or big cinema? Why is it that in
America these films are considered big cinema but films like this in
Russia are considered propaganda? This is big cinema and I am a great
master.'
