Medvedeva’s “Prayer in a White Tank Top” Reveals Mixed Feelings

Russian female figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva, a silver medalist at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, is a Russian female figure skater who made headlines worldwide after posting an anti-war message on her Instagram account.

She has now published a picture of herself “praying in a bold white tank top” on that Instagram account. What on earth does this photo mean: ……!

Medvedeva published five photos. Medvedeva is wearing a white tank top with white paint on her arms and neck. The white eyeliner is also very impressive and looks somewhat mysterious.

The third photo is the most noteworthy among them. It is a photo of Medvedeva from the front, with Zagitova’s eyes closed. Medvedeva’s abs, which can be seen under her tank top, are very impressive. It must be the result of her rigorous training.

Zagitova looks like she is in some kind of prayer pose. ……

Medvedeva, born in Moscow, Russia in 1999, father Armenian, mother Russian, started figure skating when she was 3 years old and won two consecutive World Championships in 2016 and 2017. She reigned as the undefeated absolute queen, but Alina Zagitova, who emerged like a comet, continued her rapid progress and ended up with a silver medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

She is also known for her love of Japanese anime and Ghibli movies. In particular, she is a big fan of “Sailor Moon,” and performed at Dream on Ice in 2016 in a Sailor Moon costume.

In the midst of all this, Medvedeva posted a text on her Insta that smacked of protest against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which caused a worldwide sensation. Medvedeva posted this 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 the image was met with praise from around the world, there were also those who were concerned that Medvedeva might be in danger. Medvedeva also posted a message in Japanese. This must have been a relief to her Japanese fans.

What is on Medvedeva’s mind when she posted this photo? I am sure that her strong desire for peace has not changed. Perhaps it is because she is in a difficult position that she is doing all she can to appeal for peace at this time.
