Nikolai Tishchenko throws a stone at Alla Kovalchuk

The scandal surrounding former MasterChef contestant Alla Kovalchuk, who called on Ukrainians to celebrate New Year with Russians according to old tradition, is gaining momentum.

This unpleasantly surprised the woman's followers. Not only did most of her fans speak out against Kovalchuk, but former culinary show judge Nikolai Tishchenko also voiced his disapproval, stating on his Instagram page that the time has come to decide who you are and who you stand for, subtly hinting at the project participant.

Indignant fans are far more categorical in their messages, demanding that Alla Kovalchuk be held criminally liable.

It is worth noting that the woman attempted to justify her words, which only added fuel to the fire.
