As promised by the event's organiser Knyazev Production Centre, an actual African cockroach has arrived in RT office on Friday. The staff received the unusual visitor warmly: the cockroach was named Anton and treated with cucumbers, bread and sugar. Several hours later, Anton has fully recuperated and was feeling well.

On July 7, Anton has joined the race in a newly-built cockroach arena at Persona Grata Club, and finished second, being wholeheartedly supported by the RT Entertainment Team and its head Dmitry Mirimanov.

And, nevertheless, Antonina finished second, yielding only to her Loaded Magazine’s rival!
