Russian politics in the World’s Top

Alina Kabaeva, State Duma Deputy 

Popular Czech edition of For Men Only was rating a Russian gymnast, television presenter and Russian State Duma Deputy Alina Kabaeva as one of the sexiest female politicians of the planet. Unlike the sports career, Alina has not yet achieved stellar success in politics. 

Alina Kabaeva is Russia’s most successful gymnast and has won 18 World championship medals, 2 Olympic Medals and 25 European Championship medals. After retiring from Gymnastics, Alina became a member of the Russian parliament, representing the pro-Kremlin United Russia party.

This famous gymnast was a Deputy of the Russian Federation State Duma in 2007. In that year, in addition to Kabaeva, deputy mandates were other well-known athletes - gymnast Svetlana Khorkina, and the prima-ballerina Svetlana Zakharova. There are many experts doubt that the athletes will be able to adequately represent the interests of their constituents.

”Work in the State Duma does not scare me, but care. It is good. Of course, politics - a new area for me. I need to learn a lot. But I know exactly what should prove to be no worse here than in sports. In sports, in politics you can grow, bigger goals and achieve them. Without goals I'm not interested. The work in the State Duma, as well as in sports, it is very important for me”, said Alina Kabaeva to the Newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda in 2007.

Three years later experts note that girls don’t have any results at the arena of politics. In the beginning of their political careers they believed that they could reach the top in politics as well as they did in sports. However, sports results were based on their own titanic efforts and hard work, whereas in politics none of the real elections have never even took place.

Despite this, global ratings of beautiful girls continue to rise. And it is gladden.
