Putin vs. Porno (and other things)!

OK, my first forays into the pulse of the Russian blogosphere are turning out to be kind of frivolous. But I think this is interesting. Consider this - the Russian blogosphere has consistently mentioned "porno" and "pornography" fewer times than it has mentioned Putin for most of the Putin era. But lately, it looks like Russian bloggers have grown bored with the President and are writing about more...exciting things:


Пульс блогосферы по запросам порно, путин и порнография

On the other hand, this is an especially flawed comparison, because (as I've been told by others) there may of course be other terms people use when blogging about smut, but still...

Moving on, I'm sure the powers-that-be behind the Day of Conception - and indeed Putin himself, who is of course concerned about Russia's demographic crisis - will be pleased to know that Russian bloggers write about sex more often than they write about their president:


Пульс блогосферы по запросам путин и секс

Of course, this probably just means that Russians (like Americans and all other bloggers) tend to blog more about their personal lives than about politics. Here's a more surprising result:


Пульс блогосферы по запросам путин, секс и бог

Yes, it appears Russians blog about God (or at least "god") twice as much as about sex, and roughly five times as much as about Putin. So much for "наш царь и бог."
