Russian Football Star Re-Creates Famous Album Covers in Quarantine

Football stars, they’re just like us — they get bored during coronavirus lockdown, too.

Alexander Kerzhakov, a former striker for Zenit St. Petersburg and the top-scoring player in the history of Russian football, has used his time in quarantine to re-create some of his favorite iconic album covers.

Joined by his family members, he's re-created famous covers from Queen, Oasis and The Beatles so far, with more likely to come as quarantine drags on.

Here’s a look at the quarantine creations:

Hey 2020, are you Queen's smash hit "Bohemian Rhapsody"? Because you also have us questioning whether this is the real life or if it's just fantasy.

Thanks to Oasis, you, too, can feel like a rockstar by sitting around in your apartment.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
