Her latest post from a week earlier was inundated with critics who blasted her for using the “Russianzz” reference.“Shame on you,” one reply read.“If you are so proud of your terrorist country Russia, then leave to live there,” another critic replied. “Why then do you live in the country of his enemy? Terrible.”Several commenters posted #RussiaTerroristState in response, while others said they planned to boycott any products linked to Shayk.“I will never touch any brands that you promote, neither any of my friends will,” another reply read.
