THIS fine figure of Russian manhood was spotted strolling along the promenade in Yalta a couple of weeks ago. While he may not be exactly the ideal embodiment of Homo Sovieticus, he undoubtedly has a certain style and bags of character. Wonder which Black Sea Fleet battleship he commands?
Seeing as the chances of Baltic Outlook using this shot in their glossy pages are somewhere between slim and negligible, I thought I would take the opportunity to share him with the rest of the world via the Baltic Bulletin.

We salute you, Cap’n - a credit to the navy!
