Candidate for parliament stars in her own ‘100 Years of Beauty’ video, promoting women in politics and her own candidacy

Last week, State Duma candidate Natalia Gryaznevich's campaign published a video on social media titled “100 Years of Beauty: Women Politicians.” Modeled on the Cut.com viral video series “100 Years of Beauty,” which features quick montages of different hair styles and aesthetics from a particular country over a century, Gryaznevich stars in the video herself, dressed as ten different historical women in politics: Bolshevik revolutionary Nadezhda Krupskaya, first lady of Argentina Eva Perón, Soviet politician and Politburo member Yekaterina Furtseva, US First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi (including a bit of brown-face makeup), British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Soviet First Lady Raisa Gorbacheva, Britain's Princess Diana, America's first woman Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and Russia's current chairman of the Federation Council, Valentina Matviyenko.

The video ends with Gryaznevich as herself, standing beside her campaign slogan: "Natalia Gryaznevich: a politician of the present and the future." Gryaznevich is running for a seat in the parliament as a representative of the opposition party Parnas in St. Petersburg.
