Russian women strip for beer in presidential campaign - Picture

After Putin's Army encouraged girls to strip and dress provocatively to wash cars - all in support of Vladimir Putin being elected the next Russian president - it was only a matter of time before someone retaliated.

Enter the Medvedev Girls, who are backing current Russian president Dmitry Medvedev to be re-elected.

A small number of young ladies invited everyone to pour beer into buckets. The more beer they collected, the more items of clothing they removed.



The girls ended up stripping down to their bikinis, while all the beer was poured down a gutter.

The stunt was inspired by Medvedev's desire to cut down on public drinking.

Medvedev Girl Anna Sirotkina said: "We're taking our clothes off because this event is aimed mainly at young men and our main slogan is, 'choose beer or us'."

The candidates for the next presidential race have yet to be revealed.
