Russian Butt Slapping Championship

About

Russian Butt Slapping Championship, also known as Russian Spanking Contest, is an object labeling macro and exploitable depicting a woman with bright green hair preparing to slap a blonde-haired woman on the butt. The format comes from a viral video on the Russian Slap Championships, an event where men and women take turns slapping each other until someone quits, passes out or falls over. The image is typically used with an object label placed over each woman, and sometimes the man in-between, referencing something being hit, slapped or liked.

Origin

The clip used in the image appears in a Generation Iron Russia “Slap Championship,” where two opponents are pitted against each other in a slapping contest. In the video, published to YouTube^[1] on May 25th, 2019, there are several contests between both men and women. While the men slap their opponent’s arm, the women take turns spanking one another. The particular part the meme is pulled from occurs right around the 4:25 mark when a green-haired woman goes up against a blonde woman, who’s an Instagram model named Anastasia Zolotaya (and the winner of this competition). As of April 7th, 2020, the video (featured below) currently has over 2.6 million views, 30,000 likes and 2,700 comments.
