The wife of one of Vladimir Putin 's top aides appears to have lost the plot after being filmed frantically smashing plates during her second holiday in a NATO country.
Nations members of the intergovernmental military alliance have been supporting Ukraine during Russia's bloody invasion of its former ally.
Ex-Olympic skater Tatiana Navka, 47, who was born in Soviet Ukraine, is married to Dmitry Peskov, 54, Putin’s hawkish spokesman and also deputy chief of his Kremlin administration.
The one time Russian Maxim model posted on Instagram as she has moved in recent days from the ancient city Ephesus in Turkey to a resort in Greece.
This is despite the social media site having been banned as 'extremist' in a media crackdown overseen by her husband.
She has been slated by Russian and Ukrainian critics for her ostentatious displays as civilians, including children, are being killed in Putin’s war.
While the Greek tradition of plate smashing can be an act of mourning, it is also seen as a devil-may-care attitude in a celebration.
But many commenters believed she has lost the plot by behaving in such a way in a country openly supporting Ukraine and branded “unfriendly” by Putin.
One said: “The wife of a top civil servant of a fighting country should behave more modestly.
“Doesn't her position imply that? She is almost the country's first lady.”
Other furious comments asked how she received a visa for an EU country, with one demanding: “How was she allowed into Greece?”
Another asked: “Is it your husband filming?
Another questioned: “Why are you not in Crimea?”
The peninsula - annexed by Putin from Ukraine - has been under fierce bombardment by Kyiv forces in recent days.
She told: “This embarrasses Putin and Russia.”
One more angry comment said: “I believe it is absolutely inappropriate for the president's press secretary and his wife to be partying in these difficult times.
“They completely lost their shame, and mostly show exactly how they 'love' their motherland and their people.”
User Karina Margary, one of her 1.2 million followers, furiously condemned her.
“Not only Ukrainian lads are dying in Ukraine, but Russian men die too and get captured.
“Just for a minute, imagine what the mum of a deceased guy would feel like when seeing your video.
“Her son is doing God knows what in a sovereign country [Ukraine], and here we see the [Russian] Establishment crashing plates, because they want to and they're having fun.
“Ask this mother, what does she think?
“Have fun, but remove this post. It is inappropriate while the war is still going and it is not clear when this all will be over.”
Some comments suggested she was intoxicated in the late night plate smashing performance.
One more said: “Your country is fighting with Ukraine, children, women and elderly are dying, and you post from Greece. Aren't you ashamed? “
Earlier she had posted from Turkey - also a NATO country, which is supplying killer drones to Ukraine.
She had donned a see-through beach dress.
One Russian commenter complained: “At the moment of the special operation you are travelling to the country that provides military support to its enemy. What’s wrong with you?!”
Another demanded: “Can you stop showing off in foreign resorts wearing your couture dresses.
“It’s not the right time for this!!!
“The country is fighting, men are dying for values you’ve publicly voiced.
“Have some shame! And even for a little time remember you have modesty.”
Another referred to a recent attack in Kharkiv and said: "The deaths and sufferings of dozens of people are on your hands, and you are pretending not to know it!”
It is unclear if Peskov - one of Russia’s most powerful men - is with her in Turkey, where he was once a diplomat.
If so, he was not seen on the camera .
He is sanctioned in Greece, which is part of the EU, as he is in the UK and US.
Most Russians are unable to fly abroad due to sanctions, visa curbs, and flight restrictions on Russian airlines.
