At Lake Seliger, Opposition Refuses To Take The Bait
The annual Nashi youth camp held at Lake Seliger has, since its inception in 2005, traditionally served as a breeding ground for eager young Putin acolytes. Whilst typically offering spectacular views of the lake and alarmingly Riefenstahlesque scenes of mass gymnastics, the Moscow Times notes that this year the camp has somewhat changed its emphasis. With a new logo in the colour of Putin’s least favourite revolution (orange), it has made a major effort to diversify its appeal.
