Ukraine 's bid to join the EU took a new twist today when semi-naked pictures of the country's deputy interior minister in charge of European integration were revealed. British-educated Anastasia Deeva, 24, was already under fierce attack in Kiev for being too young for the job, and to have been appointed without proper vetting - which her boss dismissed as 'bigotry' and 'ageist'. Now Interior Minister Arsen Avakov has defended the married minister's topless photographs, claiming critics were 'asexual' or obsessed by moralising. Tasteful: The naked pictures were found on Anastasia Deeva's social media by Ukrainian journalists investigating allegations she was in a relationship with her boss, something which an Interior Ministry source has denied. He said her pictures were 'private' and taken when she was a student, a time when she also worked as an aide to various Ukrainian MPs.

JUST FOR YOU
Dad's nude pics of unknowing daughter would now be considered illegal.
In the photograph, the model is shown rising out of a bubble bath, suds dripping from her body. Her tight panties and skimpy top are soaked and revealing. She gazes at the viewer, her face showing a wisp of a smile that seems to have been coaxed from off-camera. In just over seven months, the model has become an online phenomenon. According to the posted schedule, new photographs of her — many clearly intended to be erotic, all supposedly taken that week — are posted online every Friday for her growing legions of admirers. Sparkle is one of hundreds of children being photographed by adults, part of what appears to be the latest trend in online child exploitation: Web sites for pedophiles offering explicit, sexualized images of children who are covered by bits of clothing — all in the questionable hope of allowing producers, distributors and customers to avoid child pornography charges. In recent months, an array of investigations of the child pornography business — by the Justice Department, state and local law enforcement and Congress — have contributed to wholesale shutdowns of some of the most sexually explicit Internet sites trafficking in child images. But they have been rapidly replaced by a growing number of these so-called model sites, Internet locations that offer scores of original photographs of scantily clad under-age children like Sparkle, often posed in ways requested by subscribers.
Pour vous :
When thinking about nudes, you might imagine that shady snap you sent your bae last week or Kim K's unapologetic mirror selfies. You probably won't recall an image of a clingfilm-wrapped, statuesque woman standing in the desert. Synchrodogs is the Ukrainian photography duo with a knack for producing artistic and thought-provoking imagery. The powerful pair, year-old Tania Shcheglova and year-old Roman Noven use their background in the Post-Soviet state along with a unique creativity to form striking, other-worldly portraits. Their new series Supernatural combines the sublime feminine form with the landscape of the hypnotising natural environment to create something which can only be described as discovering new heights of consciousness that are not physical or literal. Leading to a long line of photographic copycats, Synchrodogs' work is capturing the attention of the internet's most thirsty visual enthusiasts, rightly so. We caught up with the pair to discuss nudity and nature, growing up in a side-lined country and how we shouldn't be ashamed of how we were created. Konbini: Why is photography your medium of choice?
