Russia’s Foreign Ministry has posted a playful message to its subscribers, telling them to have a nice weekend. The looping video clip was edited and posted on popular video site coub.com as well as on the Ministry's Facebook page. It features a smiling Sergei Lavrov, Russia's Foreign Minister, waving his hand and blowing a kiss to his online fan-base.
It is accompanied with “The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)", performed by Cher.
The message quickly went viral in the web, with the users appreciating the idea and the ministry employees sense of humor.
“The blog of our Ministry is one-of-the-kind! Way to go!” read one of the comments.
“The Patriarch! Of Planetary Diplomacy! S. Lavrov!” praised another one.
The users unanimously agreed that they could watch the video endlessly.
“Gentlemen are always in fashion!” read a comment from a presumably female user.
“High—profile man! Open, strong, self-confident and with a great sense of humor!” says another one.
“Have a nice weekend too! Have a great rest, relax on your own or in the company of friends, lots of greenery and fruits, nuts, ginger, cinnamon and honey and then high spirits, our dear man!” another user wrote, in response to the Minister's message.
