An ad at a bus stop in Moscow shows President Obama smoking with a headline that translated states, “smoking kills more people than Obama.”
Apparently this ad calling the president a mass killer has become a trend in Russia.
Dmitry Gudkov, the only liberal opposition in Russian parliament, snapped a photo of the ad and posted it to Facebook. Gudkov condemned the ad as “disgusting and embarrassing.”

The full text of the poster reads:
Smoking kills more people than Obama, although he kills lots and lots of people.
Don’t smoke, don’t be like Obama.
Gudkov told the Guardian, “Soon they’ll be scaring kids with Obama rather than Baba Yaga (a witch from Russian folk tales).”
There has been no comment from the Russian government, and no one has claimed responsibility for the ad.
