The Russian Celebrities vs their Foreign Counterparts



Each Russian celebrity is like a compound image of the society's symptoms. There are scandalous bee-queens, unsatisfied intellectuals, intimidating faith healers, filthy rich "new Russians", working class heroes, smart and career-oriented young people, wannabe hipsters and many many more. While we don't want to compete with tabloids, we thought it would be a good idea to give you an overview of how Russian celebrities are related to their foreign counterparts. For example, if you're looking for a local version of Paris Hilton, try Ksenia Sobchak, and if you're more into finding a local version of Houllebecq, then Sorokin would be your best choice.
