Maybe that's a special skill he's trying to show off. Looks like he might have just squeezed it out, too.

... which raises the question, "what happened to the rest of the sofa?". My guess is that he tore it apart with his bare hands. Why?

It's a prop, obviously, but because I don't read Russian I can't tell why.

I can only see the blue stuff and I assume it's the name of the newspaper.
I thought it was Russian, but the "R" and "i" made no sense, because there is no "R" in Cyrillic and the "i" or "I" in this case is not used in the Russian language, but it's used in the Ukraine for example. And I believe the "R" is just a fancy "K".

It is used in the orthographies of the Belarusian, Kazakh, Khakas, Komi, Rusyn and Ukrainian languages, where it is the equivalent of the Cyrillic letter i (И и as used in Russian and other languages.
Ukrainian і is therefore Russian и, while Ukrainian uses и for a sound close to Russian ы. Belarusian meanwhile uses only і and ы, excluding и entirely. Rusyn uses і, и, and ы for three different sounds: /i/, /ɪ/, and /ɨ/ respectively.)

Google translates рідний край / ridniy kray with native land and probably also homeland

There is an Ukrainian song called "Kray, miy ridniy kray"

Most people on the sites have crappy pictures, or try to hard to be unique. The crazy cat ladies or guys with collections of weird stuff are much worse.

as a pick-up line

"You're exactly who I've been hoping to meet ever since getting out of jail" didn't work well

Neither did "My psychiatrist didn't ever really help me meet women"

Nor "Why do you think it's so difficult for men to find love with a prostitute?"

Nor "Don't worry: I never talk about my favorite cup sizes on the first date"

Nor "I think I must've watched Looking for Mr Goodbar six or seven hundred times by now"

So I'm always looking for new ideas
