On Defender of the Fatherland Day, a controversial listing appeared on the Avito platform, offering paid companionship for men who wanted company on the holiday. The listing drew attention across social channels, including a Telegram channel associated with RT showing screenshots of the ad.
The listing claimed to feature the same woman from a February 23 post. The description framed the service with a suggestive analogy, implying that a man without a partner is like a pirate without a parrot, and presented a range of offerings intended to ensure clients would not have to watch videos of others celebrating alone again.
A Moscow-based performer advertised a spectrum of options. The cheaper offerings included visits to a shooting range with the promise that fear would replace the target, a “massage of clogged parts,” and the chance to receive a newly issued iPhone—priced at 15,000 rubles. However, the buyer would need to cover the phone’s cost first. In a similar vein, a car could be bought as a gift for 25,000 rubles, with the artist claiming she would source the vehicle from a dealership and present it wrapped in a camouflage spring cover.
The most expensive package was described as a service to help a client become famous, priced at 99,000 rubles. Among other unusual offers was a performance stated as memorable for 77,000 rubles, although the exact nature of the performance was not disclosed. The artist also offered to act as a driver for a day for 30,000 rubles or to spend a quiet day with the client for 44,000 rubles.
Beyond the core services, additional add-ons were available. These included a playful game with the client for 17,000 rubles, cooking meatballs for 4,000 rubles, preparing a steak for 5,000 rubles, or sharing a personal life anecdote for 5,000 rubles.
The price list also featured items marked with an asterisk by the artist, such as the option to provoke a client’s ex-partner for 35,000 rubles or to return the relationship for 50,000 rubles. A special package offered for 99,000 rubles claimed the artist could help “make a girl want to be your girlfriend.”
As of now, the service page remains accessible on Avito, though it is unclear whether the performer secured any clients. The broader context included a previous reference to Florida officials considering restrictions on social networks used by children, though this note did not directly relate to the listings on Avito.
