Vladimir Putin was once challenged for the Russian presidency by Elena Berkova, an ambitious porn star who rose to fame for her role in several adult videos.
The woman tried to oppose the Russian leader after stating that his political program sought enact laws to criminalize women who wore long skirts and make it impossible for men to divorce their wives. Enough so that it could be acclaimed by the population of Russia, very upset with the decisions of the Kremlin, especially after the invasion of Ukraine that began on February 24.
She sought to defeat Putin. In addition, she also wanted to improve the lives of people in Russia. One of her campaign promises was introduce more sexual education in schools and punish bullying with the death penalty.
Who is Elena Berkova?
Elena Berkova has always had ambitions to get into politics. In 2009, she tried to run for a seat in the Sochi House of Representatives. She even released a campaign video, but it didn’t get recorded in the end.
Born in 1985, in addition to being a porn actress, she is a glamor model, singer and television presenter. She was born in Murmansk, she moved to Mykolaiv (Ukraine) when she was young, and she began her professional career as a pornographic actress at the age of 18.
But in 2011, Berkova had been sentenced to three years in prison after being related to the control and possession of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances.
Another handicap she had was that she needed the minimum age of 35, and when she announced her candidacy for the 2018 presidential elections, in November of the previous year, she was 32, so she could not finally be a candidate.
Later, he ran for mayor of his hometown Murmansk in the 2019 elections. Also unsuccessful.
