With all the turmoil in Crimea, a press conference clip of the new Prosecutor of the Crimean republic, Natalia Poklonskaya, went viral in Japan, spawning anime-style fan art.
As website Voice of Russia points out, Poklonskaya recently gave a no-nonsense press conference. “I tell the truth and I’m not afraid of this truth. I am no criminal…,” she’s quoted as saying. “Let them bring legal cases against me. I believe that justice will be done.” Tough talk.
Yet, her press conference wasn’t subtitled in Japanese (or English, for that matter), leaving some online to concentrate on far more superficial things. One Japanese tweet, which simply read “Crimea’s New Attorney General oh oh oh…” and featured a link to her press conference was retweeted nearly ten thousand times.
And, thus, on Japanese art site Pixiv, there’s now Poklonskaya anime fan art from Japan — as well as South Korea and China.
For better or worse, it’s only a matter of time before the inevitable Natalia Poklonskaya cosplay.

*googles*………..It sure was =/
I am sorta disappointed in the Internet, as there is not nearly enough awkward crap to show my friends when the Ukraine comes on the news.
Don’t worry rule 35 and 36 should fix that.
Yeah but then rule 46 kicks in and I die a little on the inside.
FFS.
Might migrate to Crimea………..do all the women look like that??
She is definitely a qt
She looks like Attack On Titan’s Annie, though one of them looks like Nanami from Utena (The cat one).
A cute individual in a position of importance rather than some wizened old man. She is practically a living anime character already. Shame though that the reality over there is less than cartoony at the moment.
I would be surprised if the reality is even being reported here. The news I have seen is about as fictional as most cartoons
She has annexed my heart.
