NR2.ru is holding a contest to vote for the sexiest CIS President. At the moment, Putin (Russia) and Edward Kokoyty (South Ossetia–and his presence in the list tells you this is a Russian survey!) are neck-in-neck. Nazarbayev, whose birthday is in 2 days (and I will post on what’s been going on in Astana for the 6 days of Astana Day and his birthday, I swear) has only 0.9% of the votes, putting him last except for Rakhmon (Tajikistan) and Karimov (Uzbekistan).

Vote here. pictures are also provided. Results are here though they are constantly updating.

This really shows the tragedy of the last election in Ukraine, where Yushenko was poisoned, because without that incident, I think he’d be first, no questions. He still gets my vote, though I see why Putin and Kokoyty are leading. A bit surprised that Kocharin isn’t making a better showing. Note that Aliyev (Azerbajian) is trying to get a leg up by sending in a photo holding a rose (Sly dog!).
