Elena Berkova
An ex-Russian porn star is the latest woman to announce she'll be standing against President Putin in next year's presidential elections.

Busty brunette Elena Berkova from the city of Murmansk in northwest Russia, who also stood for mayor of Sochi, posted a video on Instagram outlining her plans.

The 32-year-old mum-of-two, who will be the fourth female candidate to run for office, said she would introduce the death penalty for sexual harassment because she was fed up with people like Harvey Weinstein.

She also said she would make it almost impossible for men to divorce, introduce sex education in schools, and make it an offense to wear a skirt longer than 40cm.

The model who is known for posting saucy videos on social media said: 'I made this decision recently, because women are actively taking part in the presidential campaign.

'Some of them are from show business, I ran for mayor of Sochi and took have taken part in politics, so I decided to run for the President of Russia.

'I plan to make divorces almost impossible for men, as these days women bear almost all the responsibility for children.

'I plan to introduce sexual and legal education in schools. And to introduce a mandatory sex exam.

'Often our youth still do not know about sexual legal norms, hygiene, not to mention pleasure.'

She added: 'Censorship on clothes. For example - a violation of public order should be wearing a skirt above 40cm.'

And she calls for strong laws to cut down on sexual harassment.

'The death penalty for harassment. We've got the Weinsteins, too.'

Her campaign has been met with mixed reactions from her 639,000 followers.
