Andy Warhol in Russian advertising -- "Amerikanskoe salo"

[Wilkinson, C]

Spravedlivaya Rossiya has denied being involved with the "amerikanskoe salo"
campaign (arguably predictably) -
http://www.rian.ru/politics/20090203/160845449.html

Having downloaded the book available at www.vokr.ru ("Voiny kreativa") I'm
left wondering if this is part of an ad campaign itself or whether its a
manifesto for  "jamming" mainstream messages using techniques similar to
those used by  AdBusters (http://www.adbusters.org/) and other culture
jammers to subvert commercial adverts. It's certainly very Pelevinesque in a
"Pokolenie P" way as a manifesto and a campaign.

Whilst not about Warhol, there has recently been an anti-Coca Cola calendar
published by a Russian company that plays on Soviet agitprop and sobriety
campaign posters. See http://englishrussia.com/?p=2272
