This week is my last column for The Moscow Times after about six years of watching bad television and writing about Ksenia Sobchak.
The idea of the column was basically to read a lot of gossip magazines
and watch trashy television. Back then no foreign journalists ever
seemed to write about show business and television, as if people spent
every waking moment thinking about Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
It seemed fair to write about who was on the cover of Russia's most
popular magazine, 7 Dnei. And why they were all so keen to show off
their new bathroom fittings.
