we ought not get carried away with this phenomenon.. .Israel Shamir has a nice intro to this group that has been supported by NGO...

Another take, with a discussion of pro-Russian segments of the left, also in Counterpunch: http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/08/22/hating-russian-orthodoxy/

HAHAHAHA! I have a hard time believing they would be getting this kind of coverage if they knew that:
This gentleman is the very same deviant that can be found wanking before publicly copulating with his extremely pregnant wife at a Moscow natural history museum. View Mark Ames very NSFW photo essay on the Voina protest here:

I'm astonished to see the left readership at this site supporting Israel Shamir, a pro-dictator Christian reactionary and a holocaust denier. Is this what we've come to?

Simon, the Louis Proyect piece is implicitly responding to Shamir (agreed that he's odious). Of course both appear in Counterpunch... well, that's Counterpunch.

Thanks for the response Robin. I'll check it out. Counterpunch indeed I suppose.

Quoting anybody is not the same as supporting... Within the context, what IS wrote about PR is what was important and not he himself..

My fave Mark Ames article is the one where he boasts, in his 30s no less, of fucking a 15-year-old (search for the word "pervometer"):

My fave article about Mark Ames is the one written by a former associate of his who accuses him of being a rapist:
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/the-gonzo-classic-that-wasnt-/261541.html
I'm SO proud that he's finally crusading against "sociopaths"!

I got these links from Breitbart's article about Mark Ames!

Ames, yes... but he's small fry compare to Taki's Magazine Editor, Jim Goad (aged 50).
He is an outspoken advocate of beastiality. He openly boasts of spreading peanut butter on his genitals and having dogs fellate him.
He also enjoys sexual liasions with the mentally ill. While married to an insane woman who was dying of cancer, he sought comfort in the arms of an even crazier woman – herself widely known around Portland for publicly fellating dogs. He ended this relationship by crushing her eyesocket (“bitch-beating” he calls it), and was subsequently sent to prison.
Upon release from prison, he immediately began a relationship with yet another insane woman. A custody battle over their dogs ensued.
You can read about much of it here:

He can also be seen here (around 15:35) sadistically tormenting a homeless prostitute:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9HELH-ZYhE
Between prison and Taki, he worked in the pornographic industry. He wrote an article about preteen sexuality for Vice magazine, after which he was let go. At Takimag he wrote an article about a preteen gang-rape victim, referring to her with the phrase: “teeny-tiny turkey twat.”
http://takimag.com/article/blacks_rape_preteen_hispanic_in_texas_whites_get_blamed1/page_2#axzz2BEq5Loeo
It was widely viewed that the “American Conservative” magazine failed because it didn’t appeal to young people. Curiously, the radical far-right fringe has decided to invest in Jim Goad. While he is clearly interested in young people, it would appear that young people these days are more interested in Obama than beastiality, pedophilia, and racism.
