A schoolboy in Russia has won a month living with a porn star as a prize in an online competition. Ruslan Schedrin, 16, was told he qualifies to spend a month in a Moscow hotel with the voluptuous Ekaterina Makarova. He appears delighted about the prize, saying the X-rated actress has ‘good sizes’ and he is ‘boiling inside’ – but his mother and sister have reacted furiously. ‘I didn’t believe it at first, I thought it was rubbish,’ he said. ‘But when it turned out to be true, I thanked the website, I was so happy. ‘I called my friends and they did not believe it either, they said: “What are you talking about?”‘ Ruslan, who has worked as a child actor, added: ‘Now they are happy for me too. Some of them are envious.
‘I didn’t believe it at first, I thought it was rubbish,’ he said. ‘But when it turned out to be true, I thanked the website, I was so happy. ‘I called my friends and they did not believe it either, they said: “What are you talking about?”‘ Ruslan, who has worked as a child actor, added: ‘Now they are happy for me too. Some of them are envious. ‘Such a prize, how could they get such an idea for a 16 year old boy. I am shocked. I have not seen the girl. But my son must study.’ Under the rule of the competition, he can pass on the prize to his ‘official representative’, for example, his father. But the mother is against this too. ‘No, absolutely not,’ she said. She said the prize has led to family ‘quarrels’ and her son ‘has gone mad about it.’ Ruslan’s sister Diana Schedrina, 17, said: ‘I’m against it too. I don’t think it is any kind of chance for him. He can find a girlfriend if he likes. ‘I wonder about this prize: what if a married man had won it? Or even a young girl, I know some of them enjoy playing these games too? ‘It is totally the wrong idea for a prize.’
Porn actress Ekaterina Makarova – believed to be in her mid 20s – said she had agreed three months ago to be the prize in a competition for the 100,000th visitor to a new website selling virtual arms for computer games. She has not met Ruslan yet but said 16 was ‘a good age to be independent.’ ‘We discussed it with the organisers earlier that the winner might be underage. She would discuss with the teenage boy where they would stay for the prize – but she wanted ‘to go on holiday somewhere abroad’. ‘I will travel to Moscow and then the boy will decide,’ she said. ‘We will negotiate it with his mother too if he can live in a hotel with me, or fly with me somewhere.’ He has some exams and studies.
Asked if the prize meant having sex with the winner, she said: ‘It is not supposed, but life is life. ‘It is a usual thing when inexperienced boys are looking for more experienced girlfriends. I don’t know. At least we’ll be friends. I liked him in the photographs.’ She added: ‘If he is not comfortable about a hotel, he can stay at home. He has to decide.’ There may be more problems ahead. Although his mother is quoted saying the boy is 16, an official database lists him as being aged 14. The age of consent in Russia is 16.
