Given how shabbily they treated her in the past, I'd say its time for some new leadership!

Don't think Svet is gay at least. Perhaps she can swing a big stick at Putin (lol).

Hopefully, Svet's presence will influence more Russian girls to come over and join the WCBB ranks.

Ok, well, she has dated men in the past, so unless she was covering up or bi, then I think she's hetero.

So what if she is? And so what if she isn't? What is that "at least" comment all about?

Bad news for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) travelers hoping to visit Russia, as foreign tourists will now be subjected to the same "gay propaganda" fines and sentences as residents.

Because that is just one step away from complete banishment.

Maybe it would best to get back on topic here....

VERY happy to see Svet may get this post. She is very capable and deserving.

Who wears short shorts? Sveta wears short shorts!

And I am digging those knee highs. I think I had a pair like that in the '70s. Really.
