Medvedeva’s “Public Appearance in a Bold Red Swimsuit” Seen as Mixed Emotions
Russian women’s figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva, a silver medalist at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, made global headlines after posting an anti-war message on her Instagram account. She has now posted a flamboyant red swimsuit on her Instagram account, which has created a buzz.
Medvedeva published a photo of herself in a bright red swimsuit. Her wavy hair is very impressive.
Medvedeva actually appeared on the cover of the Russian edition of the men’s magazine “MAXIM. The photo in question appears to be one that was taken during a photo shoot for the magazine.
Medvedeva was born in Moscow, Russia in 1999, her father is Armenian and her mother is Russian. She reigned as the undefeated absolute queen, but ended up with a silver medal at the PyeongChang Olympics as the comet-like Alina Zagitova continued her rapid rise.
Medvedeva is also known for her love of Japanese anime and Ghibli movies. In particular, she is a big fan of “Sailor Moon,” and performed in a Sailor Moon costume at Dream on Ice in 2016.
In the midst of all this, Medvedeva posted a text on Instagram that smacked of protest against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which caused a worldwide sensation.
Medvedeva posted this pitch-black image using the Stories function on Instagram. On that black screen, she added the message, “Like a bad dream, I hope it all ends as soon as possible.
While this drew praise from around the world, some people were concerned about whether she was in danger. In the midst of all this, Medvedeva posted a message in Japanese as well, which must have relieved her Japanese fans.
Speaking out against the government in Russia, where speech is regulated, is a risky business. Still, Medvedeva mustered up the courage to speak out, and perhaps all she can do is let those around her know that she is safe and sound.
Even though she had no choice but to hide her true feelings, many of her fans must have been relieved to see her in this magazine. We can only hope that the day will come when she can speak freely without worrying about anything.
