Putin's fan from Crimea wins Mrs. Planet 2024 and promises to invest the money in the war against Ukrainians
Peru hosted the international beauty pageant Mrs. Planet 2024, where Tatyana Fedorishcheva, a 33-year-old admirer of Russian President Vladimir Putin from Crimea, won. In the final of the event, which could hardly be called prestigious as it was held in a shopping center and was attended by only 35 participants from different countries, the Russian model appeared in an "empress" costume.
According to Russian media reports, she promised to spend the money she won to support the occupiers in their war against Ukraine. It is noted that Fedorishcheva refused to participate in some contests, such as dancing or high-heeled fashion shows, because she had an accident at the age of 14 and lost one foot.
"It was difficult! It really was. There are so many participants, and the preparation of the Latin girls is such that I never dreamed of, even with my experience," the Russian woman said about the pageant.
According to the native of Crimea, she did not face any "prejudice" at Mrs. Planet 2024 because of her citizenship, and almost all the participants associate Russia with snow, vodka and Putin.
In addition, the 33-year-old Putin fan once again demonstrated Russia's imperialist narratives on the international stage, as she appeared in the final of the competition dressed as Catherine II. She explained her choice of bow as follows: "I want to stand out with a real national image. Although the organizers did not like it very much. They asked me for a long time to "be like everyone else" and bring wings and a feather bikini, but I refused. Even though we have the Firebird, our culture is much richer than the image of a fairy-tale bird."
Tatiana Fedorishcheva decided to confirm the "multifacetedness" of Russian culture with an original gift. Shortly before the final of the contest, she announced that she wanted to visit Easter Island and give the locals buckwheat and sprats.
Interestingly, however, the model's victory in the beauty pageant did not cause much excitement among Russians themselves.
"Why does Mrs. Planet take place in a school cafeteria?"
"It looks more like a kindergarten party."
Earlier, Fedorishcheva won the title of third runner-up at the Miss Ocean World pageant in India. There, she performed in a stylized Black Sea Fleet uniform to a video with Putin, which violated the rules.
