Luchkina, 24, could be seen taking a drag of the vape herself before handing it to the orangutan through a wired fence.
The primate put its mouth to the vape and then backed away before exhaling a cloud of vapour.
She then continued to give the orangutan puffs from the vape in the video.
The incident occurred while the Russian visited the Taigan Park Zoo in Crimea.
Luchkina is now facing a furious backlash from MMA fans for her actions.
One posted on social media: “That’s abuse.”
A second wrote: “Idiot of the idiots.”
A third commented: “What is wrong with people.”
A fourth said: “Just disgusting behaviour and she should not be allowed to fight again”.
Another added: “Leave the animal alone!”
Reports have claimed the orangutan is okay after being given the vape.
It is also suggested that Luchkina could be fined and banned from the zoo.
SunSport has reached out to PETA for comment
