And Because We Love The Kids...

Kids across Russia are drawing portraits of Vladimir Putin as part of a nationwide drawing contest meant to coincide with the upcoming presidential election which Putin is 100% assured of not losing.

The winning entries will be announced on election day and hung in the Kremlin. You can see the early submissions here. We are particularly fond of Putin rendered in a crazy wolf headdress and Putin with six arms (one of which holding a hockey stick, naturally).

So we at Signal are doing our own contest. If you have a kid and can get your kid to draw a portrait of a world leader by 18 March, we’ll run the best submissions to coincide with the Russian election too. Send us your junior masterworks at signal@eurasiagroup.net.
