Putin-fanatic Russian pop star, 38, investigated over racy stage appearance at concert marking Children’s Protection Day
A PUTIN-fanatic pop star is under investigation for her racy stage appearance at a concert marking Children’s Protection Day.
Russian singer Olga Buzova, 38, was slammed for “dressing as a dominatrix” at the event attended by children and their families.
Regional lawmaker Rustem Akhmadinurov condemned her “shocking and inappropriate" performance, which he said to have shown a defiance for the traditions of the region.
Meanwhile, Putin’s “moral guardian” Ekaterina Mizulina raged: “It’s as if we live in two parallel worlds - on one hand, there’s the special military operation and a civil war in Ukraine, people are dying.
“On the other hand, part of society continues to live in some other world and promote values that are fading into the past.”
She compared Buzova’s appearance to a celebrity “nearly naked” party denounced by Putin in Moscow last year.

Mizulina - who has been romantically linked to Putin, 71, in recent months - insisted: “The whole country has been living differently for a long time. We have changed.”
Yet Buzova denounced the “nearly naked” party - when one famous rapper appeared in one a sock covering his manhood - and has eulogised dictator Putin, telling fans that she found him attractive.
“I like strong men such as our president,” she said.
“At one time he was an ideal for me.
“I think many girls have fallen in love with the head of our amazing country.”
Mizulina, 39, said that Buzova has gone too far appearing on stage in Ufa, a mainly Muslim city in Russia, even though her appearance had been praised by the local mayor.
“Buzova appeared on stage in an extremely revealing outfit,” complained Mizulina.
“All this was watched by a huge number of children and teenagers.
“Residents of the region are very outraged by this situation. And I agree with them
“Why provoke people like that?
“Especially in a region where there are many believers? To annoy them? I do not understand this.”
Russian war pundit Sergei Mardan blamed officials for arranging her performance.
But another saw her as being dressed like a dominatrix as children watched.

One more said the performance was “depraved”.
Russia’s Investigative Committee - responsible for probing major crimes - is examining the Buzova performance following a stream of complaints on a day when Russia traditionally marks the importance of protecting children.
