    Nasty? Sure. Nazi too?

    The latest on Jezebel du jour Michelle Bombshell: She's a neo-Nazi white supremacist? So says TMZ. She has the letters "W P" on her shanks—reports say they stand for "White Power," but Michelle says "Wet Pussy." Also circulating is a photo of her refrigerator with magnet letters arranged to spell out "white power." And then there's an arresting photograph of her in a fetishy Nazi costume.


     

    Article Image5000418820454

    And now, a discussion on symbolism

    About that Nazi pinup picture—it's actually one image from a series done by a photographer named Robert Alvarado. He has dressed up several different models in SS outfits, and he has also dressed models as American WWII flying aces, KGB agents, naval officers, pirates, cowboys, American Indians and Confederate soldiers. He has a serious costume fetish, and his images recall the classic pinups of Vargas and Elvgren. (Here's a sampling of his work and, yes, it includes a few Nazi shots.) Was Dyanne Thorne a Nazi because she made Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS? Were the writers/directors/producers behind Ilsa and the wave of Nazi sexploitation films from the Seventies anti-semitic, or merely tasteless? Are some symbols so loaded and offensive that they can never be used again? The German government's answer: Yes and no. It outlawed any use of the swastika after World War II, but allowed exceptions for artists and filmmakers. We're not going to attempt to answer any of these questions—not really what we do on this page—but they're worthy of debate. And we're not saying Michelle Bombshell isn't a white supremacist. She may well be.

Very occasionally, the Soviet authorities backhandedly conceded the existence of the Fab Four; everyone of this generation remembers ''Starinki Avtomobil,'' by the Soviet group Vesyolye Rebyata (The Happy Boys), otherwise known as ''Baby You Can Drive My Car.'' Or the record ''Around the World,'' which included ''Debushka,'' or ''Girl,'' by ''a vocal instrumental group.''

Ансамбль "Веселые Ребята" 1971. "Люди встречаются"

(Russian: Весёлые Ребята) is a Soviet pop rock band formed in 1966, in Moscow, by pianist and composer Pavel Slobodkin.

Laskoviy Mai was a group. The group was created in the middle of 1980s, Sergei Kuznetsov decided to create a group of musicians with orphan children from an orphanage in Orenburg. The group's first album became legendary in the history of the Soviet pop. The style of group is a mix of Western disco pop music made on the synthesizer with plain lyrics and sung with a jazzy voice. The style of this group was revived by the group Ruki Vverh. Group Vesyolye Rebyata had a hit "Rozoviy Rozy", but even it could not exceed the popularity of the hit "Belye Rozy" of group Laskoviy Mai. The popularity of this group was similar to the popularity of The Beatles in the Soviet Union at the time.

Vocal and instrumental ensemble (abbreviated VIA) - the official name recognized by the state professional and amateur music groups in the Soviet Union in 1966-1986, respectively. Термин «ВИА» в советское время был синонимом термина « музыкальная группа » (мог применяться даже к иностранной группе), но со временем стал ассоциироваться именно с советскими поп - и фолк -группами. The term "VIA in Soviet times was synonymous with the term ' band '(could be applied even to a foreign group), but over time it became associated with a Soviet pop - and folk bands.

A Taste of Russian Rock on WVKR

November 17th, 2009

Last night, Professor Nikolai Firtich from Vassar’s Russian Studies Department, did an hour-long show on Russian and Soviet rock music, starting with groups from the 1970s and coming all the way up to the present.  Playing records and CDs from his own collection to narrate this musical journey, Nikolai presented great insight on a music and culture that to most audiences are totally foreign.  Check out some highlights, accompanied by Nikolai’s commentary, below.

"In Soviet Russia, Rock groups were not allowed to call themselves, 'Rock' Groups on ideological grounds (officially it was believed that rock music was "a product of decaying Western culture"), so these groups coined the term vocal-instrumental ensemble, or, in abbreviated form, "VIA".

A conversation between leading transmission producer, Fyodor Khitruk and National Artist, Oleg Tabakov brings us back to the music of Soviet cartoons including excerpts from their favorites:

Edwin Bernard Astacio Espino, aka “Bernard,” Charged for the Helicopter Shooting at the San José Ward

SAN JUAN, PR—On Thursday, May 13, a complaint was filed against Edwin Bernard Astacio Espino, aka "Bernard," for willfully damaging and/or disabling an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States. On the evening of May 4, 2010, the defendant fired a AK-47 rifle, black in color, 7.62 caliber, at a helicopter operated by the San Juan Municipal Police in interstate or foreign commerce, announced today Rosa Emilia Rodríguez-Vélez, United States Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico, along with federal and state law enforcement agents. The complaint was authorized by U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce McGiverin.

The complaint further charges that the defendant did use, carry and discharge a rifle, in furtherance of a violent crime, that being shooting at the helicopter, which resulted in the death of co-pilot Jesús Quiñones Santiago.

Both offenses alleged may carry the death penalty or life imprisonment.

“The arrest of Astacio Espino is the result of the joint efforts of a task force of federal, state, and municipal law enforcement agents who worked tirelessly to locate and capture him. We will continue working with law enforcement partners to conclude the ongoing investigation into the events of May 4, in which an innocent victim was viciously killed,” said U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodriguez-Vélez.

This arrest was part of the joint efforts of the FBI, Puerto Rico Police Department and San Juan Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney José A. Contreras.

A criminal complaint contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed to be innocent until and unless proven guilty.
