In the remarkable outburst, Natalia Pereverzeva, said Russia was "a great artery, from which the 'chosen' few people are draining away its wealth."

The 24-year-old issued the withering attack in response to a standard question about what made her proud of her country and what she could promote about it, asked of all contestants of Miss Earth.

... Miss Pereverzeva, a model and former finance specialist, began by praising her country, saying it was, "a kind cow with very big eyes, funny horns and always chewing its mouth; oh, what sweet milk she gives!"
But, veering off message, she added: "My Russia is a beggar. My Russia cannot help her elderly and orphans. From it, bleeding, like from a sinking ship, engineers, doctors, teachers are fleeing, because they have nothing to live on. My Russia – it is an endless Caucasian war."

The stinging indictment, published in full on the pageant's website, caused a furore in Russia.

Larry, can you imagine the uproar if a Westerner had said the same?!   :D

Mendy,  Oh, the response would not have been pretty.  Even if it were said by a Westerner who was a longtime resident of Russia, who had demonstrated a great affection for the country. :)

I had some trepidation even typing the thread title for fear it would engender a "shoot the messenger" response.

Edited to add a photo of Miss Pereverzeva:
