Moskovskii komsomolets question

[Melissa T Smith]

Is "Moskovskii MOMsomolets" a typo, Alina? If so, someone should correct the error by starting up such a publication. Back in Soviet times, there was a radio station called OBS - "Odna Babushka Skazala"!

Since Putin is trying to resurrect the "glory days" of the USSR, he should welcome such a publication. Unfortunately, this is no joking matter in today's world...

Thanks for the memory,

Melissa

One has to define the notion of the yellow press here. If we are talking about gossip, then Ekspress-gazeta is it, but the two komsomol papers are not in the same league, so to speak.

Between the two, Moskovskij momsomolets has Aleksandr Minkin (and his letters to the President) among its columnists, and an outspoken Gusev as owner and editor, and Komsomolskaya Pravda has as columnist Uliana Skoybeda and her desire to wear valenki as long as Russia is strong and “Krym nash” (not to mention her sorrow over failed final solution, the echo of Trent Lott’s “we wouldn’t have all these problems”, if anyone follows the US politics). There is a difference.
