In this week's edition of Zooming In, Gelf's quasi-weekly round-up of undercovered local stories from around the world: Korea's Genitalgate; a revolutionary's son with a capitalistic bent; a noodle fight; and steeplechase's new king and queen. One of our favorite stories this week concerns an extraordinary Russian website.

In a country fraught with corruption and organized crime, counterfeit documents are omnipresent. So it's no surprise that websites like dokumentov.net, peddling everything from high-school diplomas to visas, have sprung up. What is surprising is the corporate and official feel of the site, according to Kevin O'Flynn's column in the Moscow Times. The site even has a page listing the employees and their résumés. "The profile of technical director Seregei Danilin even says that he graduated from St. Petersburg State University in 1996," O'Flynn writes. "Whether this is true, or whether he is merely a satisfied customer, is not clear." Big spenders (those who want, say, both a PhD and a doctored passport) are eligible for a special promotion. Customers who spend $1,800 get a free pair of underwear with the phrase, in Russian, "I Bought a Diploma" across the crotch. (If you are a Gelf reader who speaks Russian, please let us know. We'd like to order some of these for Chrismukkah presents.)
