During the 2012 Miss Earth contest Pereverzeva in her written presentation remarked in particular: "But my Russia is also my poor long, suffering country, mercilessly torn to pieces by greedy, dishonest, unbelieving people. My Russia is a great artery, from which the "chosen" few people are draining away its wealth. My Russia is a beggar. My Russia cannot help her elderly and orphans. From it, bleeding, like from sinking ship, engineers, doctors, teachers are fleeing, because they have nothing to live on. My Russia is an endless Caucasian war". The written presentation was based on an earlier essay by Pereverzeva. In a poll conducted by the Russian newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda" 93% of respondents agreed with Pereverzeva's opinion.
