After seeing 'Only the Handsome Will Survive' in GQ Style Russia's Spring/Summer 2010 issue, I think I need a cold shower. Photographer Alex Bego captured models Ian, Alexander, Leonid Petukhov, and Valentin Ponomarenko as [hot underwear-clad prisoners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova) under the guard of Alina Abuzyarova.

Stylist and director Vadim Galaganov is to credit for this [scandalous shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren), which sees the subservient prisoners doing Abuzyarova's bidding. If [gorgeous men](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-menswear-campaign) are to be put under lock and key, as GQ Style Russia posits in 'Only the Handsome Will Survive,' I won't mind.
