Russian Women Urged To ‘Strip’ To Show Support For Vladimir Putin: ‘I Will Tear My Clothes Off For Putin’

The New York Daily News‘ Nina Mandell put it best: it’s a case of “naked political ambition.” Indeed. A group calling itself “Putin’s Army” seeks to show support for the Russian prime minister by showing that Vladimir Putin‘s got the sport of “beautiful, young and smart girls.” Oh, and naked. There’s that part also. Putin, who’s considering a presidential run, is not connected to the online effort, which promises stripping campaign supporters a chance not just to boost Putin’s standing in the polls, but also to win themselves an iPad 2. And so there’s that.

The Telegraph describes one of the videos, posted to a Russian social networking site:

“…a blonde student called Diana…struts along Moscow’s streets in high heels and a black suit before scrawling “I will tear my clothes off for Putin” on a white top in red lipstick and starting to undo her clothes.”
