Micheal Idov of The Daily Beast has an alternately funny and chilling–but really, mostly chilling–tale of how several men who’ve given the Russian government a bit of trouble, including the editor of Newsweek‘s Russian version, found apparently surreptitiously recorded, smutty, druggy tapes of themselves made public.
Lesson: beware of Russian models bearing narcotics.
