Moscow alternative newspaper: actually funny

I lived in Moscow for about a year and a half from mid '94 to late '95. While I never found anything amusing about the place, the eXile, a local alternative newspaper, seems to have had more success than me. Case in point: the popular black market for pirated movies has taken a nose dive. A columnist quips:

I bought a VHS tape version of Carlito’s Way for 200 rubles and wished the saleswoman luck.

200 rubles. Approximately equal to: jack shit. And that's when I lived there 8 years ago.
