Mayors

I just noticed: the way Russian, American and English capitals’ mayors look seems to be representative of each country’s culture — or, at least, the popular image of that culture.

Moscow mayor Luzhkov:


(Silk suit in bad taste — the guy looks like a pimp… Red ball… What is he signing? It looks like a brochure with pictures — a set-up photo? Pompous, fake, full of himself…)


New York (yes, it’s the cultural and economic capital) mayor, Michael Bloomberg:


(Microphone, conservative look, talking to some journalist liar. Probably about some Great Cause, in which he without a doubt believes himself.)


London mayor, Boris Johnson:


’ello, mate! :)
