"Putin's mistress" Kabaeva embarrasses herself as she fails to do the sign of the cross correctly. Video

Olympic rhythmic gymnastics champion Alina Kabaeva, who is called the mistress of dictator Vladimir Putin, has embarrassed herself. At a sporting event where the Russian woman was accompanying her ward, she tried to bless a participant and did it incorrectly.

Kabaeva's strange movements were pointed out by the Russians themselves, who were watching the competition. The video was shot before the performance at the BRICS Games.

Before her ward Masha Borisova started her performance, the camera was showing her coach. Kabaeva put her two fingers - thumb and forefinger - together, waving them in the air.

The Russians noticed that the "Christian" was performing the gesture incorrectly as three fingers are required to hold in this position. In addition, she drew a cross in the direction of the athlete four times instead of three.

"Orthodox Christians bless with 3 fingers", "They do it from left to right. Your man seems to be a believer", "Four times? Are you sure?", "Loser", "What has she done to her appearance?" commenters wrote.
