Anastasia Kucherova, a Russian living in Milan, voiced her opposition to Russia’s war against Ukraine with a highly symbolic, if anonymous, act: Carrying the Ukraine team placard during the opening ceremony of the Milan Cortina Winter Games.
Kucherova was swathed in a long, hooded silver puffer coat, her eyes covered with dark glasses — like all the other placard bearers for the 92 nations competing in the Olympics.
The Ukraine sign was illuminated for the crowd to read.
At first the country assignments were going to be random, but later the choreographer asked if the volunteers had preferences, and Kucherova chose Ukraine.
Kucherova, an architect who has been living in Milan for 14 years, was unrecognizable, and her nationality was not announced to the public when she led the five Ukrainian athletes competing in Milan into San Siro stadium to resounding cheers.
She said organizers allowed her to choose Ukraine.
She first revealed her role to her 879 Instagram followers and then in an interview with The Associated Press.
“When you walk by the side of these people you realize they have every human right to feel hatred towards any Russian,’’ she told the AP on Monday.
“Still, I think it’s important to do even a small action to show them that maybe not all the people are thinking the same way."
For Kucherova, speaking about her small act of resistance on the second anniversary of the poisoning death of dissident Alexei Navalny is a way of reminding the world that the war continues, even as life elsewhere goes on.
Without being told that Kucherova was Russian, the athletes immediately recognized her origins and addressed her in Russian.
That was a sign for Kucherova of “some profound connection” between Russians and Ukrainians “that obviously could live on if not for the war.”
The Milan delegation was led by flag bearer Yelyzaveta Sydorko, a short track speedskater, and included figure skater Kyrylo Marsak.
Both athletes have fathers who are fighting on the front lines in a war that is nearing its fourth anniversary.
