Xenia Crushova [hot]

Take her breakout series, Soviet Milk (2022). The series depicts empty Soviet-era nursery rooms and sanatoriums.

Xenia Crushova’s greatest contribution to internet culture may be her refusal to be polished. In a world of Instagram Facetune and curated perfection, she posts videos with messy hair, wearing clothes that look like they cost five dollars, speaking honestly about her life.

Famke Janssen’s performance is legendary because she understood the assignment. Xenia isn't sexy despite being a killer; she is sexy because she is a killer, in her own twisted mind. The gasps of pleasure when she pulls the trigger, the way she bites her lip while squeezing the life out of a man—it’s grotesque, absurd, and utterly captivating.
