Cum au ajuns bărbații ruși să-și redefinească identitatea în urma invaziei Ucrainei New

Cum au ajuns bărbații ruși să-și redefinească identitatea în urma invaziei Ucrainei

Prestigiul internațional al Rusiei s-a prăbușit în câteva săptămâni de la invazia pe scară largă a Ucrainei. Sancțiunile au lovit băncile, companiile și elitele politice ruse, în timp ce firmele occidentale au părăsit țara în masă. Pentru cei care trăiesc în Rusia, schimbările cotidiene și tangibile au fost cele care au făcut ca această situație să pară reală, scrie The Conversation.Produsele occidentale au dispărut de pe rafturile supermarketurilor, zborurile directe către Europa au fost suspendate, iar obținerea vizelor pentru călătorii în străinătate a devenit mai dificilă. În același timp, sportivii, artiștii și oamenii de știință ruși au fost excluși de la competițiile internaționale, de pe platformele culturale și de la evenimentele academice.Pentru rușii care locuiesc în alte părți ale Europei, schimbarea a fost adesea mai subtilă. Întrebările privind naționalitatea lor în cererile de angajare, acoperirea mediatică negativă și comentariile spontane despre Rusia au contribuit toate la un sentiment tot mai puternic că a fi rus înseamnă acum a purta un stigmat. Reputația internațională în schimbare a Rusiei devenise brusc o chestiune personală.Marina Yusupova-Ryder, lector invitat la catedra de Sociologie de la Universitatea Napier din Edinburgh, a observat această transformare în cercetarea sa privind identitatea masculină rusă, care a implicat intervievarea unor bărbați ruși care trăiesc atât în Rusia, cât și în străinătate. Când i-a intervievat pentru prima dată pe cei 40 de participanți la studiu în 2013-2014, majoritatea aveau o părere pozitivă despre Rusia și un sentiment relativ de siguranță în ceea ce privește identitatea națională.Când s-a întors să-i intervieveze pe 27 dintre ei între 2022 și 2023, această imagine se schimbase radical. Doar doi dintre bărbați mai descriau Rusia în termeni pozitivi fără echivoc.Una dintre întrebările pe care Yusupova-Ryder le-a adresat participanților în cea de-a doua rundă de interviuri a fost: „Cum ați defini rolul Rusiei în lumea de astăzi?” Răspunsurile lor au fost izbitoare.Respondenții au descris Rusia ca fiind „doar un pion într-un joc mare”, „un agresor cu bastonul nuclear” și „o țară paria, precum Coreea de Nord”. Un participant a comparat chiar Rusia cu Voldemort, personajul negativ principal din seria de cărți „Harry Potter”.Alți doi au numit Rusia „o țară înapoiată, defectuoasă, bolnavă” și „statul care folosește violența pentru a fi iubit”. Chiar și cei care susțineau regimul lui Vladimir Putin și războiul au recunoscut că poziția Rusiei pe scena mondială s-a deteriorat semnificativ de la invazia pe scară largă.Intensitatea stigmatului – și, în unele cazuri, rușinea asociată cu faptul de a fi rus – era palpabilă. Pe parcursul interviurilor, a fi rus devenise ceva ce mulți simțeau că trebuie să explice, să apere, de care să se distanțeze sau pe care să-l regândească.Gestionarea stigmatuluiModul în care intervievații gestionau stigmatul geopolitic era strâns legat de ideile despre masculinitate, putere și competiția dintre marile puteri mondiale.Dmitri, un rus care locuiește în Marea Britanie, a spus: „Acum vorbesc mai puțin despre faptul că sunt rus.” El a dat vina pe autoritățile ruse „incompetente” pentru război și și-a exprimat simpatia față de ucraineni, dar totuși dorea ca Rusia să câștige.„Rusia trebuie să câștige”, a spus el, deoarece o victorie ar aduce beneficii populației vorbitoare de limbă rusă din întreaga lume. „Învingătorii nu sunt judecați – câștigătorul scrie istoria, după cum știm.” El se temea că o înfrângere a Rusiei i-ar transforma pe ruși în „paria” și susținea că Rusia ar trebui să poată „să se alăture marilor puteri mondiale, precum SUA și Marea Britanie”.Dmitri se distanțează de statul rus, sperând în același timp că statutul Rusiei – și, odată cu acesta, statutul rușilor – ar fi restabilit prin victorie. Răspunsul său se bazează pe o concepție a puterii internaționale centrată pe forță, victorie și capacitatea de a impune respect.Petr, care locuiește în Rusia, a gestionat stigmatul în mod diferit. „Nu sunt politolog sau expert militar”, a spus el, adăugând: „Nu am pe birou niciun plan de operațiuni militare ofensive, nu știu ce se întâmplă cu adevărat acolo. Poate că suntem victime ale propagandei.” Negarea implicării sale l-a ajutat să se distanțeze de deciziile statului rus.Dar această distanțare a devenit, de asemenea, incomodă pentru percepția sa despre sine ca bărbat. El a adăugat: „Sunt tot un bărbat. Sunt tot un tată, un apărător al familiei mele.” Pentru Petr, masculinitatea i-a oferit o cale de a naviga în această poziție incomodă. Putea spune că nu înțelegea războiul și că nu era responsabil pentru el, revendicându-și totuși identitatea de bărbat care își protejează familia.Pavel, un respondent care locuia temporar într-o țară mediteraneană în momentul în care a fost intervievat, a ales o altă cale. El s-a opus războiului și a criticat violența imperialistă a Rusiei. Pavel e deosebit de tulburat de ceea ce considera a fi eșecul Rusiei de a-și recunoaște crimele imperiale din trecut. El a pus Rusia în contrast cu „marile puteri”, precum Germania și Japonia, despre care susține că au arătat deja regrete privind trecutul lor imperial.Pavel respinge imperialismul Rusiei. Dar, în același timp, compară Rusia cu alte state puternice pe care le considera mai moderne și mai civilizate. Prin poziționarea Rusiei ca un imperiu care nu a reușit să învețe din trecutul său, el poate să se distanțeze de stigmatul „de fi rus” și să se alinieze unei ordini internaționale presupus mai legitime.Așa cum au susținut cercetătorii britanici Imogen Tyler și Tom Slater în lucrările lor, stigmatul nu este pur și simplu o etichetă atașată celor care sunt considerați devianți sau discreditați. Este un mecanism de producere și stabilizare a ierarhiilor sociale și a relațiilor inegale de putere, scrie Marina Yusupova-Ryder.Bărbații pe care cercetătoarea i-a intervievat nu au acceptat pur și simplu stigmatul geopolitic. S-au distanțat de el, l-au contestat sau au încercat să-l depășească. Dar, făcând acest lucru, s-au bazat adesea tocmai pe ideile de putere, victorie, ierarhie civilizațională și inevitabilitatea violenței care stau la baza dominației imperiale și masculine.

Violent protests in France: 2,397 arrested and 997 police injured New

Violent protests in France: 2,397 arrested and 997 police injured

Franca po përballet me një krizë të rëndë sociale dhe politike pas trazirave të së shtunës, më 17 tetor, të cilat u shoqëruan me plaçkitje, zjarrvënie dhe përleshje me forcat e sigurisë në disa qytete të vendit.Sipas të dhënave të Ministrisë së Brendshme franceze, 2,397 persona u arrestuan, ndërsa 997 efektivë të policisë dhe xhandarmërisë mbetën të plagosur, shtatë prej tyre në gjendje të rëndë.Protestat, ku morën pjesë qindra mijëra qytetarë, u zhvilluan në Paris, Marsejë, Lion, Bordo dhe Limoges, ku u raportuan dëmtime të pronës publike, djegie automjetesh dhe plaçkitje të dyqaneve. Dhuna preku edhe institucionet shtetërore, ndërsa në disa qytete ndërtesat komunale u vunë në shënjestër të protestuesve. PARIS LOOKS LIKE A WAR ZONE THIS MORNING. Burned-out cars. Debris everywhere. Luxury stores with smashed windows. Monuments tagged. People walking past the wreckage like it’s normal. This is what walking through the city looks like on October 18th after last night’s “protests.” This is what happens when a country imports millions who refuse to assimilate, ignores the crime that follows, and then pretends the resulting chaos is just “economic frustration.” It ended with hundreds of shops looted, cars torched, and streets looking like a battlefield. Over 1,800 arrested. France chose open borders over order. Now its capital looks like this. — TONY™ (@TONYxTWO) October 19, 2026Situata më e rëndë u regjistrua në Limoges, ku bashkia historike u përfshi nga flakët pas një sulmi nga persona të maskuar. Në Marsejë dhe Lil u sulmuan ndërtesa komunale, ndërsa në Bordo u vandalizua rezidenca e prefektit të Girondës.Në Paris, grupe protestuesish lëvizën në zona të ndryshme të kryeqytetit, duke shkaktuar dëme dhe duke plaçkitur biznese. Disa prej tyre arritën t’i afroheshin zonës së Pallatit Elize, duke ngritur pikëpyetje mbi masat e sigurisë dhe reagimin e autoriteteve.Një ditë pas trazirave, qeveria franceze u përball me kritika të shumta për mënyrën se si u përgatit dhe u menaxhua situata. Ministri i Brendshëm, Laurent Nunez, është vënë nën presion nga opozita dhe kryetarët e bashkive të prekura nga dhuna.Kandidatja presidenciale e të Gjelbërve, Marine Tondelier, kërkoi dorëheqjen e ministrit, duke e akuzuar se kishte nënvlerësuar përmasat e krizës. Kritika ndaj qeverisë erdhën edhe nga deputetë të partisë Franca e Pabindur dhe drejtues të Tubimit Kombëtar, ndërsa ish-presidenti François Hollande deklaroi se shteti kishte dështuar të garantonte rendin publik në të gjithë vendin. BREAKING: ‘How can French people do this to France?’ French President Emmanuel Macron has said the country is feeling ‘anger and shame’ over recent protests in the country. Calling for peace, the president said ‘nothing’ justifies the riots and damage caused in multiple cities. https://t.co/7pAPurPqW0 — Sky News (@SkyNews) October 18, 2026Nga ana e tij, Nunez hodhi poshtë akuzat për mungesë planifikimi, duke argumentuar se forcat e sigurisë u përballën me grupe të shumta që përdornin taktika të papritura, duke lëvizur dhe shpërndarë në zona të ndryshme për të kryer akte vandalizmi dhe plaçkitjeje.Marseja ishte një prej qyteteve më të prekura nga trazirat. Kryetari i bashkisë, Benoit Payan, akuzoi qeverinë se nuk kishte siguruar mbrojtjen e duhur për qytetin. Sipas tij, në orët e para ishte vendosur vetëm një njësi e policisë së trazirave, ndërsa përforcimet mbërritën pasi situata ishte përkeqësuar.Ministri i Brendshëm argumentoi se rreth 2,000 protestues u shfaqën herët në Avenue Canebière, duke i zënë në befasi forcat e policisë.Në Marsejë u regjistruan 99 arrestime të lidhura drejtpërdrejt me incidentet, ndërsa 118 efektivë të forcave të sigurisë u plagosën, tre prej të cilëve kërkuan shtrim në spital. Ndërkohë, shifrat për numrin e personave të përfshirë në trazira ndryshojnë sipas raportimeve të mediave lokale dhe autoriteteve.Presidenti francez, Emmanuel Macron, dënoi ashpër dhunën dhe deklaroi se personat përgjegjës për shkatërrimet do të përballen me drejtësinë.“Ne të gjithë ndiejmë zemërim dhe turp”, u shpreh Macron, duke iu referuar pamjeve të plaçkitjeve, zjarrvënieve dhe sulmeve ndaj ndërtesave publike.“Ata që shkatërruan duhet të paguajnë. Ata që plaçkitën duhet të kompensojnë. Ata që kërkuan të dëmtonin Republikën do të mbahen përgjegjës”, theksoi presidenti francez.Macron kërkoi gjithashtu që qeveria të nxjerrë mësimet e nevojshme nga kriza, veçanërisht në drejtim të mbledhjes së informacionit dhe parandalimit të akteve të dhunshme.Megjithatë, ai bëri dallimin mes protestuesve paqësorë dhe personave të përfshirë në shkatërrime, duke pranuar se pakënaqësia për koston e jetesës, çmimet e karburanteve dhe gjendjen e shërbimeve publike kërkon përgjigje politike.Presidenti iu referua edhe të rinjve që janë mobilizuar në shkolla dhe universitete, duke theksuar se shqetësimet e tyre për arsimimin, mundësitë e punësimit dhe të ardhmen duhet të dëgjohen.“Përgjegjësia jonë është e dyfishtë: të dëgjojmë zemërimin dhe të adresojmë shkaqet e tij rrënjësore, duke mbështetur në të njëjtën kohë fuqimisht sundimin e ligjit”, deklaroi Macron, duke bërë thirrje për qetësi dhe unitet në prag të zgjedhjeve presidenciale, të parashikuara pas rreth gjashtë muajsh.Ndërkohë, presidenti francez ka nisur një turne treditësh në katër vende të Gjirit Persik, Kuvajt, Emiratet e Bashkuara Arabe, Bahrein dhe Katar, i cili do të zgjasë deri më 21 tetor. Vizita synon sigurimin e furnizimeve me hidrokarbure dhe lehtësimin e presionit mbi ekonominë franceze, në një kohë kur çmimet e karburanteve mbeten një nga shqetësimet kryesore të qytetarëve.

Spotovi studenata FDU izazivaju pažnju: Inspiracija iz svakodnevnog apsurda New

Spotovi studenata FDU izazivaju pažnju: Inspiracija iz svakodnevnog apsurda

Instagram sviublokade.fdu autor: 18. okt. 2026. 22:01 U toku predizborne kampanje za parlamentarne izbore veliku pažnju privlače spotovi iza kojih stoje studenti Fakulteta dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu. O sadržaju koji kako mnogi komentarišu, “gađa u metu”, izaziva suze na oči, ali i prenosi snagu i energiju za dalju borbu, govore za Nova.rs umetnici sa FDU-a, koji su, ako se veći deo publike pita, sa ovim “studentskim” radom, uveliko - diplomirali. U ovom razgovoru, na naša pitanja odgovaraju kao tim. Oglas Poruke sa snažnom simbolikom, koje šalje svaki spot studenata FDU, u fokus najčešće stavljaju bivše članove vlade Srbije i sada već bivšeg predsednika države Aleksandra Vučića. Tema su i studentski protesti koji su Srbiju i njene građane probudili i motivisali na borbu.Spotovi studenata FDU-a bude bes, tugu, istovremeno i smeh i želju za pobedom. Jedno je sigurno da i one koji se sa njima ne slažu, ne ostavljaju ravnodušnim.Autori ovih spotova za Nova.rs kažu da “najbolji spot tek stiže”.Šta vam je (i ko vam je) najveća inspiracija?Najveća inspiracija su nam svakodnevica i apsurd vremena u kome živimo. Kada ste okruženi ljudima sa kojima delite iste vrednosti i želju za promenom, inspiraciju crpite iz neograničenog besplatnog materijala koje nam država svakodnevno isporučuje. Inspiriše nas želja za sigurnijom budućnošću i želja da ostanemo u svom domu, želja da imamo slobodu. Inspirišu nas svi ljudi koji su u ovoj borbi od samog početka i koji nisu odustali, kao i poverenje koje smo izgradili između nas. Inspiriše nas zajedništvo, koje nikad ranije nismo osetili.Kako nastaju spotovi?Spotovi nastaju ad hok, odnosno intuitivno. Kroz školovanje smo stekli osećaj za medije i stvorili neku vrstu profesionalne intuicije koja nas vodi sve ovo vreme. Nema ozbiljne produkcijske pripreme, one su za ove sa milionskim budžetima i nula ideja. Mi spot smontiramo uz kafu, dok traju reklame na tv-u.Spot je rezultat posla ili zabave?Ovo nije posao, radimo volonterski i nadamo se da će nam rad na spotovima priznati u radni staž. ⁠Uz spotove mnogo učimo, to i jeste deo naše struke, pa je na neki način spoj posla i zabave jer da nije tako, ne bi bili ovako uspešni i nikad ih ne bismo radili sa lakoćom.Kako komentarišete reakciju javnosti, brojnu publiku širom Srbije, koja iz dana u dan nestrpljivo čeka vaše nove kreacije?Nismo očekivali ovakvu reakciju. Međutim, nismo ni razmišljali o “brojkama” kada smo počinjali. Nadali smo se naravno da će naša poruka dopreti do ljudi. Očigledno je da je velikom broju građana dosadilo da gleda standardni politički program. Ipak, moramo da priznamo da često od prevelikog haosa u kojem se nalazimo, ne stignemo ni da ispratimo sve reakcije i samim tim često nemamo tu validnost kod sebe da je nešto uspelo kad ga objavimo. A zapravo narod iz dana u dan jedva čeka nešto novo i to jako cenimo i poštujemo.Imate li omiljeni spot?Svaki dan imamo drugog favorita, a jedna ozbiljna stvar koja će uvek imati posebno mesto u našem srcu jeste “Najbolji dnevnik ikada”, ali to nije spot, već najbolji dnevnik ikada, koji možete pogledati. Omiljeni spot svakako je “onaj sledeći”, jer se nadamo da će nam konačno dati razlog da prestanemo da ih radimo.Koliko su vaši spotovi važni za kampanju Studentske liste? Koliki vam je budžet za snimanje, montiranje?Zbog solidarnosti i zajedništva, nisu nam potrebni veliki budžeti za produkciju promo sadržaja. Kada govorite istinu, svi su tu da pomognu. Kada govorite iz srca, svi vam veruju. Tu je razlika. Mi u spotovima trošimo istinu koja je besplatna. Fascinantno je gledati kako vlast sipa milione evra naših para u kampanju, kako bi nam objasnili da u zemlji ništa ne valja. I to, nakon 14 godina njihove vlasti. Za taj nivo apsurda zaista vam nije potreban novac, materijal nam daju oni sami. Pratite nas na društvenim mrežama: Koje je tvoje mišljenje o ovoj temi? Učestvuj u diskusiji ili pročitaj komentare

Emir Sarıgül, Avukatıyla Emniyete Gitti: Mustafa Sarıgül Açıklamada Bulundu

İstanbul Cumhuriyet Başsavcılığı tarafından başlatılan soruşturma kapsamında hakkında gözaltı talimatı verilen Emir Sarıgül ile ilgili yeni bir gelişme yaşandı.Yeni Parti Erzincan Milletvekili Mustafa Sarıgül, oğlu Emir Sarıgül'ün avukatının yurt dışından gelmesinin ardından avukatıyla birlikte emniyete gittiğini duyurdu.BABA SARIGÜL İDDİALARI REDDETTİSarıgül, sosyal medya hesabından yaptığı açıklamada, şunları kaydetti:"16 Ekim 2026 tarihinde başlayan soruşturmayla ilgili olarak kamuoyunu doğru bilgilendirmek adına şu hususları belirtmek istiyorum:Kamu gücünü kamu görevlisi kullanır. Mustafa Sarıgül, bir kamu görevlisi değil seçilmiş bir milletvekilidir. Muhalefet milletvekilidir. Kullandığı veya kullanacağı bir kamu gücü yoktur.Soruşturmanın açılmasına neden olan şahıslarla yapılan görüşmelerin neden olduğu bir kamu zararı yoktur. Şahıslara kamu ihalesi, arazisi, kredisi v.b. verilmemiştir. Böyle bir vaatte bulunulmamıştır. Olayda zarar gören tek taraf ben ve ailemdir.Soruşturmanın açılmasına neden olan şahıslarla, 'Türkiye’ye yatırım getirebilir miyiz' düşüncesiyle görüşülmüştür. Şahısların yatırım projelerinin uydurma ve dolandırmaya yönelik olduğunun -geç de olsa- anlaşılması üzerine de temas kesilmiştir.Soruşturmanın açılmasına neden olan şahısların ortaya koyduğu belgeler, sözleşmeler, banka dekontları, noter tasdikleri sahtedir, üretilmiştir. Bununla ilgili tüm bilgi ve belgeleri avukatlarımız soruşturma makamlarıyla paylaşacaktır. Şahıslar doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak yaptıkları şantajlardan sonuç alamayınca bu şantajlarını kamuoyu baskısıyla güçlendirmek için gazeteci Murat Ağırel’le temasa geçmişlerdir.Sayın Ağırel’in kendisine ulaşan iddia ve belgeleri incelemek, doğrulamak, tarafları dinlemek istemesi ve kuşkuyla yaklaşması üzerine aile fertleri ve gazeteci Murat Ağırel hakkında Mali Suçlarla Mücadele birimine şikâyette bulunmuşlardır.Bu soruşturma sırasında bazı haber sitelerinin ve sosyal medya hesaplarının bir peşin hükmü ya da yalan haberi internette dolaşıma yayınladıkları sonra yüzlerce haber sitesinin aynı başlık ve içerikle bunları paylaştıkları tespit edilmiştir.Bu gerçek dışı haber ya da bilgileri teyit etmeden kullanmayan haber siteleri, gazeteler ve televizyon kanallarına teşekkür ediyorum.Yaşamı boyunca tek bir kişi veya kuruma çamur atmamış, siyasi ve sosyal nezaketten ayrılmamış bir kişi olarak, kamuoyunun sağduyusuna sesleniyorum:Adalet mülkün temelidir.Soyadından dolayı kimseye ayrımcılık da haksızlık da yapılmamalıdır. Bilinen bir soyadına sahip diye kimse peşinen suçlanmamalıdır.Suçun ne olduğuna, kimin tarafından işlendiğine ve cezasının ne olduğuna mahkemeler karar verir. Bu karar kesinleşinceye kadar herkes masumdur.İnsanların şeref, haysiyet ve itibarına saygı göstermek hem ahlaki bir zorunluluktur. Hem de hukuki bir sorumluluktur.Hukukun üstünlüğü, masumiyet karinesi, lekelenmeme hakkı herkese lazımdır. Bu ilke ve hakları korumak herkesin faydasınadır.Oğlum Emir Sarıgül, avukatının yurtdışından gelmesinin ardından avukatıyla birlikte emniyete gitmiştir." www.sozcu.com.tr internet sitesinde yayınlanan yazı, haber ve fotoğrafların her türlü telif hakkı Mega Ajans ve Rek.

Sicarios asesinan a Zaira Díaz y a un perro que intentó defenderla en Montería New

Sicarios asesinan a Zaira Díaz y a un perro que intentó defenderla en Montería

Zaira Díaz Flórez, de 50 años, se encontraba frente a su casa, situada en el barrio Nariño, en Montería, cuando aparecieron dos hombres que, sin mediar palabras, le dispararon cuatro veces delante de testigos. Los proyectiles impactaron a la mujer en diferentes partes del cuerpo, heridas que resultaron mortales. Le puede interesar: Murió Wilber Hernández, baleado en ataque contra caravana fúnebre junto a su familia El atentado criminal ocurrió a plena luz del día, hacia las 10:00 de la mañana de este domingo 18 de octubre. Zaira fue trasladada por sus allegados a un centro asistencial y, aunque llegó con signos vitales, los médicos hicieron todo lo posible por salvarle la vida, pero sus esfuerzos fueron en vano. La mujer falleció debido a la gravedad de las heridas. En medio de la huida de los sicarios, un perro habría intentado enfrentarlos, por lo que los sujetos también le dispararon en repetidas ocasiones, causándole la muerte en el lugar de los hechos, informaron los medios digitales de esa ciudad. El coronel Héctor Ruiz Arias, comandante de la Policía Metropolitana de Montería, señaló que una de las primeras líneas investigativas apunta a un posible ajuste de cuentas entre estructuras criminales. Esta hipótesis estaría relacionada con las anotaciones judiciales que registraba la mujer en el Sistema Penal Oral Acusatorio (SPOA) de la Fiscalía General de la Nación por los delitos de tráfico de estupefacientes y concierto para delinquir agravado, este último con dos registros. “Del trabajo que se está adelantando con nuestro personal de investigación criminal se ha recaudado elemento probatorio que nos va a permitir, esperamos pronto, darle un resultado a nuestra comunidad frente a estos actores criminales que atentan contra la vida de las personas”, puntualizó el oficial. Por ahora, la muerte de Zaira Díaz y la del perro que quedó en medio del ataque hacen parte de una misma escena de violencia que estremeció al barrio Nariño, mientras los investigadores intentan reconstruir los pasos de los sicarios y determinar por qué la mujer fue blanco de los disparos.

Gisele Bündchen Makes a Surprise Return to Victoria's Secret Fashion Show After 20 Years New

Gisele Bündchen Makes a Surprise Return to Victoria's Secret Fashion Show After 20 Years

See more of our coverage in your search results. Gisele Bündchen made a cameo during the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Victoria's SecretWhen it comes to modeling for Victoria’s Secret, Gisele Bündchen is basically the blueprint.And while the iconic star didn’t walk in this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in LA, she did make a pre-taped, lingerie-clad cameo.“Are you ready for the show?” she said in the surprise video, which played before Bella Hadid opened the star-studded runway.Ever the VS Angel, Bündchen lounged in a pink lace bra and panties, layered with one of the brand’s iconic pink-and-white striped silk robes — a backstage staple at the annual lingerie shows.She lounged in a lingerie set from the iconic brand. Victoria's SecretIt’s been 20 years since she walked in a VS show. Victoria's SecretShe returned via video at the end of the show, eating popcorn and teasing a potential upcoming collaboration with the iconic label.“Wasn’t that amazing? You’re gonna be seeing more of me real soon,” the Brazilian star said, with a wink to the camera.Bündchen made her Victoria’s Secret debut in 1999, a year before signing a record-setting $25 million contract with the brand. She seemingly teased an upcoming project with Victoria’s Secret. Victoria's SecretThe iconic model made her VS debut in 1999. FilmMagicBündchen (pictured in 1999) then signed a record-breaking contract with the company in 2000. FilmMagicShe was a fixture on the brand’s runways for the next six years, even modeling the “Red Hot Fantasy Bra” in 2000. Valued at $15 million, it was the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever — until tonight, when Kylie Jenner hit the runway in a $50 million diamond-covered design by Jacob & Co.It’s been 20 years since Bündchen walked in a VS runway show, though she did shoot a print campaign in 2023 alongside fellow icons like Naomi Campbell and Adriana Lima.And in January 2026, Hailey Bieber re-created one of the Brazilian beauty’s most iconic campaigns.The star (pictured in 2000) was a fixture on the brand’s runways for seven years. Getty ImagesThis year’s show came just a day after Bündchen was spotted leaving the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach on crutches and wearing a medical boot.Based on the tease in her cameo, perhaps we can expect to see her in another VS campaign once she’s back on her feet. Or perhaps she’ll grow some wings. Community GuidelinesWelcome to the Page Six Community!Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.

Tapeworm Drug Shows Promise as New Treatment for Endometriosis New

Tapeworm Drug Shows Promise as New Treatment for Endometriosis

See more of our coverage in your search results. Talk about an unlikely hero.Tapeworms are often the bane of the health world, from ill-advised use to achieve a slim waist to inflicting terrible neurological symptoms like headaches, confusion, seizures and death.Medication used for the little larvae could provide relief for a disease with debilitating pain and no cure that experts have deemed a clinical failure for millions of women.Medication for tapeworm infections could also provide relief for a debilitating condition that affects millions of women. Drazen – stock.adobe.comDespite 1 in 10 women of reproductive age worldwide suffering, Dr. Sheeva Talebian, board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, previously told The Post that symptoms of endometriosis are often unreported and misdiagnosed.A new study, though, has found a promising treatment for the progressive, inflammatory disease that could directly target the painful lesions growing outside the uterus.Published in August in the journal Advanced Healthcare Material, researchers fitted niclosamide, an FDA-approved anti-worm drug, with nanotech armor for use in mice.The medication reduced inflammation and slowed or prevented further spread of the lesions — a boon for the condition whose existing treatments merely alleviate symptoms, albeit with side effects.While there’s no cure for endometriosis, current remedies like hormonal medications stall the menstrual cycle to limit the growth of lesions, while surgeries can remove the lesions themselves or parts of the reproductive system to manage pain.However, the medications can often cause side effects, like nausea and mood swings. Meanwhile, lesions can keep growing after surgery.These adverse effects prompted the need for an additional option.A new treatment for endometriosis was discovered by restructuring the common tapeworm medication niclosamide. ggw – stock.adobe.comPrevious research in mice found a group of rogue immune cells specific to endometrial lesion tissue that drove growth and turbocharged the painful inflammation.Researchers also discovered a unique chemical label in the cells called a folate receptor, which made them a potential target for drugs — specifically, niclosamide.Clinicians had already been testing whether this drug could be used for other conditions beyond tapeworm infections, making it a potential treatment for endometriosis.The drug reduced inflammation and slowed the growth of lesions outside the uterus, two hallmark signs of endometriosis. megaflopp – stock.adobe.comWorking with nanomedicine specialists, the team worked to restructure niclosamide so it could dissolve better in blood by attaching it to a molecule known as a dendrimer.A folate receptor was also added so the modified medication targeted the rogue immune cells in endometrial lesion tissue.The final medication is similar to someone riding in a carshare, according to Anjali Sharma, a nanomedicine specialist at the University of Michigan who worked with the research team to develop the medication.“Basically, the dendrimer is like the Uber, the folate is like the GPS, and the drug is like the passenger,” Sharma told Live Science.“The drug is attached in such a way that when it is in systemic circulation, nothing happens until it goes inside the diseased cells,” Sharma said.Once there, it is slowly released inside the cell over a period of two weeks.In mouse models, a single injection of the drug directly targeted affected endometrial tissue, dramatically reducing pain and slowing, or even entirely stopping, the growth of new lesions.However, there’s still significant work to do to ensure the medication can be used on humans — namely the fact that mice don’t menstruate or develop endometriosis.The researchers believe the drug still shows immense promise, though.“There’s a lot of potential in repurposing of drugs that have been tested in clinical trials to see if they would be effective in endometriosis,” Ioannis Simitsidellis, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Edinburgh’s Centres for Reproductive Health and Inflammation Research who wasn’t involved in the study, told Live Science.Even at such an early stage in the process, the researchers have received hundreds of emails asking to join future trials.Next steps would be testing the medication in larger sample sizes and then, if the results are promising, clinical trials on humans.
