Tatiana Navka, an Olympic ice dancing champion who is married to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, performed the pirouetting routine with actor Andrei Burkovsky on a prime-time celebrity skating show on Saturday. The dancers wore black-and-white striped outfits with numbers and yellow stars for the routine, which ends to the sound of gunfire. Smiles in prison uniforms with yellow stars! The audience erupting in applause... No taste, no, tact, no understanding," wrote viewer Mihael Ratinsky on the Channel One website. "Primarily I think there must not be mockery, there must not be irony, there must not be a crooked smile."
