MOSCOW, May 27, Yulia Zachetova. The Cannes Film Festival ends. There were no scandals, with the exception of one: a blogger from Ukraine, Ilona Chernobay, spilled fake blood on the red carpet. She was immediately taken away by security. This is not the only case when activists try to make a scandal at high-profile social events. About those who distinguished themselves the most — in the material.
«A woman dressed in the colors of the Ukrainian flag …»
This is how French journalists described Chernobay, who were horrified by the blogger's trick .
Ilona staged a «protest» before the screening of the film «Acid» by Juste Filippo — right on the red carpet, she took out bags of paint and silently tore them over her head.
In the comments under the video, which appeared almost immediately on YouTube, users in different languages stated: «Intelligence is 0.000000».
One wrote in English that he wanted to learn more about Chernobay «for scientific purposes».
The blogger herself, who used to teach six thousand subscribers to lose weight, posted a provocative video, saying that she «used her chance», and at the end she added the notorious slogan of Ukrainian nationalists.

«What a truthful Ukrainian! She showed the whole world that Ukrainians have hands up to the elbows in the blood of civilians residents of Donbass! Russia, forward! Our cause is just, victory will be ours!» one of the Russian-speaking users wrote under her post.
«Three thousand years of desires» was nearly ripped off by a half-naked refugee from Ukraine
A year earlier, another activist distinguished herself at the Cannes Film Festival. data-crop-width=»600″ data-crop-height=»400″ data-source-sid=»ap_photo» title=»A half-naked woman, painted in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival. 2022 » class= «lazyload» width=»1920″ height=»1280″ decoding=»async» />
Before the screening of «Three Thousand Years of Wishes» directed by George Miller, a half-naked woman ran onto the red carpet.
According to eyewitnesses, she tore off all her clothes and fell to her knees in front of photographers, shouting slogans in support of Ukraine. The guards arrived and covered her up and took her away.
According to the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival, in order to get on the famous red carpet, spectators and participants undergo multiple security checks. How the Ukrainian activists managed to disrupt the order twice remains a question.
Tried to kiss Smith and hug Cooper, but ended up getting under Ferrera's skirt
Such «glory» was achieved by the Ukrainian journalist and prankster Vitaliy Sedyuk.
Will Smith slapped him for trying to kiss at the premiere of «Men in Black 3». It was in 2012. A year later, Sediuk jumped onto the Grammy stage during Adele's acceptance speech, and in 2014, on the red carpet, he fell at the feet of Bradley Cooper.
However, the prankster's prank in Cannes at the premiere of the cartoon «How to Train Your Dragon 2» is considered the most ridiculous. This time, America Ferrera, who voiced one of the main characters, suffered.
Sedyuk lay down on the red carpet when the actress posed for photographers, and suddenly fell asleep under the actress' full skirt. Security quickly pulled him away.

Ferrera looked frightened. Her co-stars Kit Harington and Cate Blanchett watched in disgust as the Ukrainian prankster was taken away.
Later, the media wrote that Vitaly Sedyuk had a press ID. However, it is not clear how a person with such a reputation managed to get to the festival.
Thirty protesters for one Netrebko: a feeble demonstration in Regensburg
Last summer a scandal occurred in Germany: about 30 activists gathered near the Thurn i Taxis Palace in Regensburg and staged a protest before Anna Netrebko's speech.
The artist was urged to stop supporting Russian culture and arrange a charity concert in Ukraine.
Demonstrators held photographs showing Netrebko with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Despite this, the performer took the stage with her husband, tenor Yusif Eyvazov. Their program included arias from operas by Verdi, Tchaikovsky and Bizet. The artists were accompanied by the Hofer Symphony Orchestra and several other singers.
The audience applauded and shouted «Bravo!», and, as the organizers later noted, there were about three thousand of them.
