Santa Dimopulos helps Russians develop their business in Dubai

Ukrainian singer and dancer, member of VIA Gra, Santa Dimopulos has once again found herself in the spotlight due to her open support for Russian business. This time, she is linked to the Prive7 beauty salon chain in Dubai, which has Russian roots and operates in the UAE.

Support for Russian business and scandalous photos

A recent post on the Instagram page of the Russian salon chain Prive7 Dubai attracted public attention. The promotional photo posted on the social media platform features Santa Dimopulos herself, sparking a storm of discussion.

Prive7, with its main office in Moscow and several branches in Russian regions, is part of a business where Russian entrepreneurs play a significant role. The co-owner of the chain is Russian makeup artist Irina Mitroshkina, with whom Dimopulos maintains a friendly relationship. The second co-owner of the salons is Suzanna Karpova.

Friendship with Russians: what lies behind the words?

Santa Dimopulos has previously been the subject of criticism on multiple occasions for her friendly ties with Russians. However, she has repeatedly stated that all her friends from Russia have "the right values". At the same time, she avoided clarifying exactly what she meant by these "right values", which only added to the questions surrounding her statements.

Bali scandal: photo that triggered an emotional outburst

Santa Dimopulos also made headlines in early 2024 after publishing a photoshoot from Bali. What outraged Ukrainians was not the singer's holiday during the war itself, but her collaboration with a photographer from Saint Petersburg, which became a topic of public debate.
