Lost in Translation: United Russia Official Wears "PARTY" Dress to Memorial, Citing Political Allegiance
In a sartorial choice that has since become the talk of the RuNet, a local United Russia official appeared at a solemn ceremony commemorating the Chernobyl disaster anniversary in a dress emblazoned with the word "PARTY" in glittering sequins.
The official, Galina Shapovalova, secretary of the Shebekino branch of the ruling party, attended the memorial on April 26th to lay flowers and deliver a speech. Photographs of the event, initially posted to the local party's social media page, were swiftly removed after drawing public attention.
In response to the ensuing mockery, the regional United Russia branch issued a statement defending Ms. Shapovalova. They claimed that as a "certified specialist in the field of foreign languages," she had interpreted the English word "Party" in its political sense, aligning her attire with her official affiliation. The explanation has done little to quell online ridicule, with commentators sarcastically applauding the official's unwavering—if misplaced—display of party loyalty.
