Evgenii Kuvshinov, 26, was arrested in Thailand after allegedly stripping naked and approaching a male bull before turning his attention to a female cow tied to a fence.
According to reports, the Russian national, who was vacationing in Surat Thani, attempted to mount the female cow, prompting a violent reaction from the animal. The cow reportedly pinned him to the ground and gored him, causing abrasions and wounds to his rear. Kuvshinov was subsequently taken to the hospital by police.
Kuvshinov, who faces potential deportation to Russia due to his alleged actions, has a history that includes some unusual details. It has emerged that he was recently dumped by his girlfriend and had made peculiar appeals for help from Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump to win her back.
Kuvshinov, a beauty industry marketing specialist, had been living abroad since the start of the war in Ukraine, likely to avoid military conscription. He moved from Russia to Antalya, Turkey, in 2022, then to Dubai, before settling in Thailand in May.
Before the incident, he was in a relationship with a Casablanca-born flight attendant, who ended the relationship, leaving Kuvshinov distressed. He reportedly sent bizarre messages to Putin and Trump, expressing his willingness to return to Russia and join the army if it meant rekindling his relationship. He also sought Trump’s assistance to reunite with his ex, who had relocated to the US.
Kuvshinov is known for his affluent lifestyle, often pictured with luxury cars and in stunning villas, and has appeared with notable Russian blogger and journalist Ilya Varlamov.
A paramedic from the Ban Na Doem Foundation, who treated Kuvshinov, noted that cannabis was found in his car and suspected he might have been under the influence. They remarked that his actions suggested he was attempting sexual acts with the cow.
Police Lieutenant Thongchai Chaikit from Ban Na Doem Police Station reported that the police received notice of a foreign man in an “altercation” with a cow at 5:40 p.m. on Thursday, August 15. The officer mentioned that Kuvshinov was lucky the rescue squad arrived when he was being attacked by the cow. Witnesses indicated that Kuvshinov first approached a male cow before trying to mount the female. He appeared disoriented, speaking incoherently in Russian, and showed no signs of alcohol consumption.
His car contained marijuana, and his passport was found torn. Kuvshinov is currently held at the local police station as hospital doctors refused to admit him due to his erratic behavior. Authorities are awaiting coordination with tourist and immigration police to further investigate the case. It is believed he has overstayed his Thai visa and will be deported back to Russia.
