`Smart Girls' Strip for Calendar on Putin's 58th Birthday to Show Support

Twelve Moscow State University journalism students posed in lingerie for a calendar congratulating Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on his 58th birthday, which he celebrates today.

The 259-ruble ($8.73) calendar, which went on sale in Groupe Auchan SA supermarkets in the capital yesterday, features female students and captions such as “You put out the forest fires, but I’m still burning,” and “You only get better with the years.”

“Any man would like to receive such a beautiful present for his birthday,” Vladimir Tabak, 23, the initiator and publisher of the calendar, said by telephone. He said the calendar, which had a print run of 50,000, doesn’t have a political message. Tabak, a journalism school graduate, said he wanted to showcase “smart girls” from his alma mater.

The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists ranks Russia as the eighth most dangerous country for reporters in terms of the impunity of their killers. The murder of Anna Politkovskaya, who was shot in her apartment building four years ago today, hasn’t been solved. Investigators yesterday extended their probe into the killing until February.
