Grigory Pasko: Nothing but Pig Snouts All Around

Nothing but Pig Snouts All Around By Grigory Pasko, journalist Let me say right from the start: that title isn’t mine. It’s not even Russian author Nikolai Gogol’s: in his «The Inspector-General», this is but a phrase by police chief in the final scene. In the given instance – this is a headline from the newspaper «Yaroslavskaya nedelya», which came out on the eve of the elections of the president of Russia. svin030508 Front page of a Yaroslavl newspaper before the elections (photo by Grigory Pasko)
