Meet Lotta Volkova, the Russian former Balenciaga stylist/scapegoat for the Q-anon right

Not to defend Balenciaga's highly questionable (and disgusting) campaign, but this Ruskie seems to have gotten dumped on by the right during the whole media crusade on the basis of her dark-themed and gothic Instagram posts (she has not worked with Balenciaga in years). Clearly the Q-anon cult do not understand the Soviet Russian disposition.

Pity for a RUSSIAN?! Do you know where you are, Boris?

R1 it's less about her being Russian and more about the fact that the hard-right conspiracy theorists tenuously targeted her as a Satanic child predator over some gothic/occult-themed social media posts. If that's the quality of "evidence" needed for such claims, then 75% of millennial and gen-Z women could be accused of the same based on some edgy Instagram/Twitter posts. The point remains that she got dragged through the mud over this, despite having no involvement in the ad campaign (and Balenciaga were mum to defend her). In this instance, I think she deserves a pass.

I can't imagine having an opinion about this woman.
