In case you haven’t noticed, Russian pseudo-czar Vladimir Putin one very strange dude. As if his obviously-staged shirtless photos weren’t enough, there’s this story.
Bjorn Again, an act that has imitated the Swedish pop group ABBA for years, says they were flown to Russia to perform the strangest concert of their careers.
The band’s manager said they were driven nine hours through snowy countryside to a military base where the group was housed in barracks and ate with Russian soldiers. Later they were taken to a tiny theatre where the Russian strongman and a handful of guests watched the performance through a gauze curtain intended to obscure Putin’s identity.
Putin’s representatives say the story is a complete fabrication. But seriously, wouldn’t you say the same thing.
Good lord, man, Vladimir Putin likes ABBA. He’s an even more hideous monster than we ever suspected.
