In connection with recent events, I understand that any text today can be criticised, as well as silenced. I am a journalist and I am used to communicating facts. Considering how much misinformation there is now, it becomes extremely difficult to communicate. Nevertheless, we will endeavour to continue, despite the fact that politics has penetrated into the world of modelling today. Some foreign agencies state that they are temporarily not taking models from Russia, as they are afraid of conflicts on the part of Ukrainian models. Some state that they can’t take Russian models because the Americans are Ukraine’s allies. Personally, I have always believed that fashion, modelling, culture, sports and the arts are areas that have no nationality. All of these things are what unite and reconcile us.
