Out with the epaulettes and in with the dresses – the Russian Ministry of Defense has opted for a radical image overhaul, by appointing a 26-year-old former journalist as a spokesperson. Rossiyana Markovskaya , who is unusually named after her homeland, has already blown up the internet with her social media pics.
Markovskaya was appointed personal spokesperson for Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu on Friday. She’s a former correspondent and news anchor on national TV networks, and Rossiyana has already earned a nickname “Defense cutie” ( “Oboronyasha” in Russian).
