As the winter cold settles in, this is a sight to warm you up (strictly 18+).

The newspapers are full of rising food prices, shortages in shops and fears over the impact of counter-productive sanctions led by the Americans. It's also the time of year everyone feels a bit low as temperatures plummet below zero.
Fraules Dancing Centre has been dubbed 'Siberia's greatest export' - and you can see why in their latest performance, the most provocative so far.
This is their latest hit, and routinely now they're securing tens of millions of hits on the web for new video releases of their sensational twerking, as The Siberian Times revealed in August. They twerk to Wiggle by US rappers Snoop Dog and Jason Derulo, with the dancers thrilled that Snoop Dog offered Fraules the song.
As we should expect, the Russians give their own twist to the original version. In the Fraules video, a Siberian peasant in traditional kosovorotka falls asleep after a hard day's work in the field.
'He sees in his dream these ultra-sexy girls running towards him and beginning to dance booty shake, and the in a night club,' explains sovok.info news website.
Yelena Yatkina, 23, founder of Fraules Dancing Centre, stars in the show with eight of her dancers. Filming them was 24 year old cameraman Yevgeniy Remizovskiy who confessed: 'We spent about ten hours making the video. It was the most pleasant ten hours of my life.'

Yevgeny, originally from the Sakha Republic, Siberia's largest and coldest region, explained: 'We took a great deal of preparation work before the filming.
'We had to film in a field outside the city, and it was near the end of September. The girls were dressed quite lightly as you can see, and the weather was rather cool.'
Maybe this helped with their dance moves but 'we had to film quick and from the first take. We were warming up with tea during breaks. I think the video came out nicely.'
The twerking troupe are now acclaimed worldwide.
'Miley Cyrus and Beyonce better watch their step - they've got rivals nipping at their heels in the form of a group of dancers from Siberia who have become global twerking sensations,' concluded the world's most popular English language news site Mail Online after their last video.
Yelena, 23, makes no secret that her mission - apart from having fun - is 'to show how great it is here in Siberia'. You can see exactly why her troupe's hot dancing defy anyone's notion that Siberia is cold and forbidding.
'Why do I think there is such interest to booty dance? The right name for it is twerk, which is a separate style when you shake your derriere. Booty dance is more like its marketing, commercial name.

'Girls and women of different ages come to study it - well, except that I try to limit the youngest and stop them from doing it. I think it is not correct from the moral point of view to teach 13, 14, 15 year old girls, because the movements carry a quite clear connotation.
'They beg me to take them, and even their parents call me and plead to teach their children, saying that they give their permission. It is certainly an energetic and beautiful dance routine, by my position is that you should start it from an older age - at least from 16.'
'People are taken by the energy, rhythm, and beauty of the movements. For some it is the best possible way to keep in shape, because it is not easy to train your body even for an hour. If you enter our classes in winter you'll feel it's like being in sauna with all the mirror steamed up and all of us covered in sweat'.
Yevgeniy, who came to Novosibirsk from Neryungri, only began to work with the camera three years ago. 'I was a student at Novosibirsk Technical University, I worked as a DJ, promoter and even as a cargo handler.
'In 2011, a friend asked me to go with him on a trip to the Altai Mountains as a cameraman, and I loved how people reacted to the camera. This trip changed my life.
'I gave up everything and got to study film. I was invited to go and work in Moscow, but I want to stay in Novosibirsk and do something to one day make it really famous.'

It's the russian PEOPLE you're hurting ,you know the same people that lost millions of lives from bullets ,cannon fire and starvation in both World Wars,
I couldn't agree more that Russian Govts have been far from pure since; but slowly and surely the russian people
are becoming more selective of who they choose to govern and these sanctions don't help their mindset.
If anything they have very little affect on the Ruling Bureacrats but a huge negative affect on the working people.
Russian people have been very weary of foreigners yet their curiosity is becoming more adventurous with each decade , They now have a strong desire to see the World and are now becoming frequent travellers and visitors to other Countries.
Their acceptance of other cultures is becoming increasingly more prevalent and this awarenes has given them a better understanding of their own culuture which in turn has increased their pride in their Country and rightly so.
This can be done in harmony, so take away these discriminatory sanctions,and leave the prejudices and mistrust in the "Dinosauric" past. BTW your piece of resistance is typically American . Must try and put a Russian agenda to argue your point next time ,ok Still use girls but more russki ok
