Career
[edit]
Maryana Naumova is the first female under-18 to be allowed to participate in professional powerlifting tournaments.[17] In March 2015, she participated in the Arnold Classic, establishing the female record in the event Arnold BenchBach, lifting 150 kg (330 lb). After the tournament she asked Arnold Schwarzenegger to become the President of the United States and normalize Russia–United States relations. She also passed Arnold letters from Donbas children.[17] She said that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a very important person in her life.[citation needed]
Disqualification
[edit]In March 2016, Mariana Naumova, the only female athlete from the world's leading powerlifting federation IPF to compete at the Arnold Sports Festival, tested positive in a doping test.[18] The 17-year-old athlete was disqualified due to diuretics in her sample and suspended by the IPF sports federation for two years and fined.[19][20]
Political views
[edit]As part of Russia's support for the Assad government during the Syrian Civil War, Naumova travelled to Damascus at the invitation of Asma al-Assad, the president's wife.[21]
In commemoration of the late Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, Naumova had joined the Communist Party of the Russian Federation to celebrate Lenin's 146th birthday and lay flowers at the Mausoleum on Red Square. Naumova was awarded the Order of the UCP-CPSU—also known as "Friendship of the People"—for her humanitarian aid work throughout the world. Professional MMA fighter Jeff Monson had also joined Naumova and the Communist Party to celebrate the life and legacy of Lenin.[22]
In 2017, Naumova said:
To me, communism, first and foremost, equals justice. I cannot say that I studied it extensively ... But I do know that in the Soviet Union people enjoyed considerable social protection. Any kid from Siberia, if he wanted it, could apply to any university without having to pay bribes. But now [in post-Soviet Russia] society is divided into classes: there are the rich who can afford almost anything, and there are ordinary people who’re limited to living in small apartments, eating low-quality food bought in chain stores and working all day long in order to survive and feed their children. I believe that this is unjust, and this is why I’m a member of the Komsomol.[citation needed]
In 2022, Naumova published a video reply to Arnold Schwarzenegger, inviting him to visit the Donbas region in order to witness the plight of the civilians under fire from Ukrainian forces. Naumova said that given that Schwarzenegger visited United States Army troops during the invasion of Iraq, he should be brave enough to visit children of Donbas that are being shelled by Ukrainian forces.[23][24]
Supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine and positioning herself as a war correspondent, Maryana Naumova participated in "courses for war correspondents" organized by the Wagner Group.[25][26]

[edit]On January 7, 2023, amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Maryana Naumova was placed on Ukraine's sanctions list because she "frequently visits frontline and occupied territories of Ukraine to film propaganda stories in support of the war in accordance with Kremlin narratives" and "supports Putin's aggression and mass murder of civilians in Ukraine". The sanctions imply blocking of assets, complete cessation of commercial operations, halting fulfillment of economic and financial obligations.[27][28] Earlier Naumova was included by ACF in the list of corrupt and warmongers with a proposal to impose international sanctions against her.[29]
