Yes. Really. The show was pitched by the American television network to Putin’s team as ‘non-political.’
Not only can Palin see Russia from Alaska, apparently Putin saw her reality show from Moscow.

Many of the issues have been attributed to policies during the Soviet Union, a time when officials felt that pollution control was an unnecessary hindrance to economic development and industrialization . As a result, 40% of Russia's territory began demonstrating symptoms of significant ecological stress by the 1990s, largely due to a diverse number of environmental issues, including deforestation, energy irresponsibility, pollution, and nuclear waste.

May I just point out that, while there are definitely non-conservative sportspeople/outdoorspeople, this is a segment of society that is largely populated by the politically conservative. You know, the people who whined incessantly about Bernie being a socialist.
