Olympic figure skating champion Tatiana Navka, the wife of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, sparked outrage for giving a Holocaust-themed performance with actor Andrey Burkovskiy.
The two wore gold Stars of David and striped uniforms resembling those Jewish prisoners wore in concentrations camps. They skated to “Beautiful That Way,” a song by an Israeli singer that was featured in the 1997 movie “Life is Beautiful” about the Holocaust.
The performance on Saturday night was for a Russian reality television show, media outlets in Israel reported. A video of the routine was posted on YouTube, showing the pair dancing and sliding smoothly across the ice.
Navka posted a series of pictures of the routine on her Instagram account, where angry users condemned the figure skater and demanded an apology.
