Teenage makes its russian premiere as the opening night film of Moscow’s Beat Film Festival tonight (June 6). In honor of the occasion, we’re revisiting some favorite posts featuring Russian youth and youth culture. We’ve got a teenage sniper who fought against Germany in WWII, the first Russian beauty pageant contestants, Chuvash beer girls, Soviet punks, and tributes to the women of Pussy Riot.
