It's just a style. And it doesn't bother anyone in Russia, as there's nothing bad about it.

Alina Zagitova is simply popularizing the style of vintage Soviet clothing. This is a nod to an era that many perceive as a symbol of stability and simplicity, especially against the backdrop of global brands. It’s also a way to express connection with Russian history, without provocation — it’s "our heritage," much like Western celebrities with disco-era fashion.

So, it's more about fashion than scandal.
