65. Here's something else for them to chew on from the Guardian today.

Excerpt:It was the early hours of Sunday morning and business was brisk in Sochi's only gay nightclub. Suddenly the lights went out and a policeman burst into the room, interrupting the drag queens' cabaret and shining a torch at the customers.

But as the lights came back up the man began to strip off until he was wearing nothing but the skimpiest of thongs. Soon he was thrusting his pelvis to the strains of "I like the way you move", and the revelry resumed.

The Mayak cabaret has an exclusive clientele. Its presence is announced by a small, discreet sign and patrons have to ring the bell to be let into the club, which this Saturday was packed with gay, lesbian and a few straight couples. Rainbow flags flutter on the bar, a drag queen in a peroxide wig runs the cloakroom, and the waiters wear leather shoulder pads over naked torsos. On stage, the absurdly camp acts are given an Olympic twist – one drag act is introduced as "gold medallist for blow jobs".

The regulars at Mayak say they have no trouble from police or skinheads in Sochi, a relatively tolerant city by Russian standards. Indeed, the only unwelcome visitors these days are foreign camera crews, nightly visitors thrusting their cameras into the face of punters and demanding to hear their horror stories.
