Newly appointed attorney-general for Crimea, Natalia Poklonskaya
Recent weeks have placed Ukraine in the limelight as its southern region, Crimea, is seized by Russian troops. However, the spotlight in Japan has been turned to a specific person in the past days, not solely based on her position of influence, but because of her good looks.
Newly appointed attorney-general for Crimea, Natalia Poklonskaya, has captured not just the residents of Crimea and Russia, but Asians as well. The 33-year old blonde Poklonskaya turned heads at a press conference held by the pro-Russian Crimean government of Prime Minister Sergey Aksyonov to talk about the fatal shooting of a Ukrainian soldier. The soldier was shot in the Crimean capital of Simferopol by a “self-defense forces” member supported by the Russians. The incident was the first military casualty since the violent standoff between the two nations, which saw Russia take control of Crimea.
Internet popularity:
After a video of Poklonskaya at a press conference on 11 March 2014 was uploaded to YouTube, her attractiveness and youth became the focus of attention of Japanese and Chinese internet users as well as Internet communities like Reddit and Vkontakte, which was reported by international news outlets. Many fan-created anime-style moe images of her uploaded to the Internet also attracted international media attention.
