...spoke of "civilians in suits and silk ties." When he mentioned the military, he spoke of "generals with mud and blood on their boots." He railed against the "Washington-to-Wall Street power axis," and said a President is "not elected to the ruling class but to the servant class." He could weave the story of his son cooking a cake with too much salt into a parable about the perils of gay marriage. He could perfectly capture the struggles of Mitt Romney's campaign with a joke about expensive dog food. The punch line: "The dogs...

A Kiss - Off the Record was made in 2003, but shelved, Voropayev explains, to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest after he became a civil servant later that year. He has since served as vice-governor in two Russian regions. Voropayev resigned in December, so he says he thought it quite proper to release this movie at last. That may be true.
