If figure skating is your thing, you’ve come to expect performances that are equal parts athletic ability and graceful art. But how about a pairs routine that’s themed after the Holocaust? No, really. Stay with me.

The woman in the video below is Tatiana Navka, the wife of Vladimir Putin’s chief spokesperson. Witness the routine with partner Andrey Bukovsky where they dress in concentration camp clothes and skate to a soundtrack that includes police dogs. WTF, Russia?
