Tatiana Navka, wife of Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov, appeared on the Russian ice-skating themed reality show Ice Age this weekend in costumes designed to evoke the plight of Jewish concentration camp inmates.
Writing on her Instagram page Ms Navka explained that she was paying tribute to the 1997 Italian movie Life Is Beautiful, which she says is one of her favourite films.
Ms Navka’s performance has been met with disbelief and shock across social media, with many commenters describing the costumes as being in very poor taste.
