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.
