Springtime for Putin and Rusheeyaaa
And speaking of those zany Russians…there’s the Holocaust-themed ice dance.
The wife of Vladimir Putin’s powerful spokesman has provoked outrage by performing a Holocaust-themed ice skating routine on Russian TV reality show.
Tatiana Navka, the wife of Dmitry Peskov, appeared on Russian reality show Ice Age and performed in the striped uniform of concentration camp victims complete with the yellow Star of David which Jewish people were forced to wear by the Nazis.
She and her ice skating partner, actor Andrei Burkovsky, smiled at the audience during the performance and appeared to mime shooting each other in one sequence.

The Russians appear to have forgotten that the Nazis regarded Slavs as sub human, in the same category as Jews and the Roma. The Russians do have something in common with the Nazis, anti-Semitism.
I’d feel a whole lot better about this if it were a Monty Python sketch. My brain is having trouble placing this in the right folder in the proper category.
