Despite Vladimir Putin’s best efforts, there’s at least one little boy who is comfortable being himself in Russia.

Dance teacher Dashaun Wesley – who teaches kids in Saint Petersburg – posted the clip to his Facebook of a young boy and girl having a dance-off in class.

He wrote: “My class in Russia. Kids Voguing down and letting it on out. And yes. Their parents were their to support them!”

The boy, Leonid Mizrahi, is seen pulling off a number of incredible dance moves – including a death drop at the end which would make most drag queens jealous.

Mizrahi has been hailed as a ‘ray of hope’ by some online given the country’s oppressive gay propaganda ban, which has reinforced the strongly-ingrained gender binary in the country.

The video has attracted a lot of attention, with more than 2 million views and 22,000 shares.

A recent poll found Vladimir Putin to be the least popular leader in the world.

The WIN/Gallup International poll found that Putin scored an astounding minus 51 points in the survey, which asked 64,000 people across 65 countries about their views of world leaders.

A Russian man has tied the knot to the love of his life… and she looks like a meaty twelve-incher.

The hopeful groom held a bizarre wedding ceremony in the city of Tomsk in central Russia, tying the knot to a pizza.

The man explained: “At some point I realised that half of my friends were complaining about their better half, while the others were complaining about the lack of a better half.

“Pizza would not reject you or betray you, and speaking quite frankly and sincerely, I love it.”
