The first gay themed movie Veseltšaki (Jolly fellows) has opened in the Russian cinemas to pretty good success and critic. A sort of Russian adaption of Priscilla - queen of the desert tells a story of drag queens performing in a Moscow nightclub that are sent to tour the provinces - without a happy end. One of the main roles is played by Finnish Ville Haapasalo and Verka Serduchka has provided some music, including the main title Casta diva. The Russian homofobic society has taken well to the movie, it seems, and many VIPs were seen in its premiere, including Dima Bilan. Hopefully this is a start of something better in Russia....
