Eagle-eyed critics have spotted Vladimir Putin's rumoured girlfriend wearing a brooch with the chilling 'Z' symbol to show support for his brutal Ukraine war.
In a rare public appearance at a new gymnastics training centre in Sochi, part of the Sirius complex into which state and oligarch money has been poured, Alina Kabaeva made clear her backing for the invasion in newly released images.
The gold medal-winning former Olympian sported jewellery with the letter Z - originally thought to be a pragmatic emblem for military tactics that was seen painted on tanks, it's now a chilling symbol of the Russian aggression in Ukraine.
