That trophy may be a lesser tournament than the Champion's League, but that didn't stop both Prime Minister Putin and his President-consort Dmitri Medvedev from celebrating Zenit...

Beer bottles, wine boxes, cigarette cartons, condom wrappers, dirty clothes and dog chow pile up on the soggy carpeting. Gang tags and drug-addled poetry splash the walls in red, gold and black spray paint. The decimated kitchen counters sag beneath jugs of curdled milk and rot-encrusted dishes.
