Meet the Russian Models Instagramming from China’s Coronavirus Capital
MOSCOW—Before the Chinese city of Wuhan shut down last month and sank into tragic gloom, the Russian government tried to convince all its citizens in that epicenter of the coronavirus epidemic to get out. But not everybody listened.
Among those who decided to stay were several Russian fashion models who’d first come to work in Wuhan, a major industrial city, last August.
The local modeling agencies they’d signed up with closed down in early February, and there was no work left for the four. Still, spring was on the way. Like the flu season, the coronavirus season would pass, they thought.
