Gee, she should have done it in front of the US Embassy with the Obama laser Decoration in the background, ... the Americans would have tossed coins at her, and the Russians would have cared less.

Russian authorities have launched a criminal investigation against a student from Zambia for dancing in front of a war memorial.
The woman, identified by local media as Rebecca Ziba, 21, posted a clip of herself 'shaking a**' next to the Memorial of Glory in the city of Khanty-Mansiysk.
She is now suspected of committing a crime under Part 4 of Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation which 'provides for the responsibility for the rehabilitation of Nazism'.
While the original Instagram post seems to have been taken down, a clip on Twitter suggests that it was captioned: 'Shaking a** for the dead, (I'm) sure they are sleeping (well) tonight.'
Ms Ziba, who appeared to be twerking in the post, was detained and has profusely apologised to Russian authorities.
In a video shared by the Russian Investigative Committee for Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra, she said: 'I want to apologise to everyone for the video that I posted on April 16.
'I posted...without knowledge of what it actually meant and knowing who it's going to hurt or upset.
'I posted a video of me dancing on a monument and I did not mean to be...the video that I posted, I didn't intend for it to be offensive.
Ms Ziba added that she 'didn't mean to offend anyone or to be disreseptful to 'those people that died'.
'And I because I did not know exactly what it meant and I never thought it would be this big,' she said.

Couple of winters in Siberia make her mind right.
“Ms Ziba added that she ‘didn’t mean to offend anyone or to be disreseptful to ‘those people that died’.”
Exactly how else did she expect Russians to interpret it?
(’Shaking *** for the dead’)
Oh yeah. How could anyone find that offensive?
🙄🙄🙄
She’s full of it.
Twerking is not something one does by accident.
Nor is where she did it accidental.
She’ll have a fun time in prison.
Khanty-Mansiysk is almost the coldest place in Siberia anyway.
What she did was not respectful, but I really don’t recall Nazis being big twerkers, unless it’s a thing with Zambian Nazis.
What a dumbass.
3 years is a tad excessive but its pretty distasteful to shake your butt in front of a war memorial.
Yep, ruined the country forever.
Second worst, 19th Amendment.
“Twerking” is a dance mimicking animals’ ‘presentation of sexual organs’ for mating. [female debasement is a feature for the left]
Very inappropriate in front of a war memorial.
Town near us was founded by people from Bavaria and they have an Americanized version of Oktoberfest. Lots of fun, food and beer.
Got invaded by some non-fun loving collage activists a couple of years ago who were screeching about "Drunken Meat Eating Nazis!"
Uh.... Hitler was a tea-totaling vegetarian dear hearts.
How about caning for graffiti?
Know the law before messing around in another man’s country...
I’d rather get a cane than spending any time in jail (especially a Russian one). Cheaper for the state too.
A fine, perhaps. Prison is just normal for Russia. They arrest you for holding a blank sign at a protest.
I agree on that. 3 years in the Gulag doesn’t sound cool.
Not too many Negroes there either...
Gee, she should have done it in front of the US Embassy with the Obama laser Decoration in the background, ... the Americans would have tossed coins at her, and the Russians would have cared less.
The police should have just clubbed her into a coma right there on the spot. She must have thought she was in the US where twerking cockroaches are even allowed to rip down our statues to our war dead.
