A snowy photo shoot of two models from Russia in an embrace with a bear shocked Europe

The photo shoot of Russian models who were naked for the sake of filming in the forest with a real bear shocked Western users. The courage of Russian girls in the arms of a giant predator delighted commentators from Britain and the USA.

The pictures were taken by photographer Olga Barantseva in one of the forests near Moscow, the main character was the brown bear Stepan, who weighs almost 700 kilograms. Young models Maria Sidorova and Lidia Fetisova were photographed together with him.

Fragile girls in translucent negligees and underwear hugged and even sat on a formidable animal during the filming.

It is noted that a trained bear with a careless paw movement can cause serious injury to a person. Despite this, Russian models boldly made contact with the predator.

The authors of the project reported that the main idea of this advertising campaign is to show the proximity of an animal and a person in order to prevent the destruction of bears.

"We wanted to show the natural harmony between humans and bears. We must live in harmony, and not hunt fellow citizens living in the forest," Barantseva explained.

Some Western users found the pictures "creepy", and many wrote about the unhealthy sexual overtones of the photo. However, most commentators were shocked by the courage of the Russian girls.
