Two Krasnodar residents apologize for their video with kiss

A Krasnodar female blogger and her girlfriend made a video in which one of them proposed to the other, after which they were kissing each other with passion. The police drew up protocols against the both young women for promoting non-traditional sexual relations. The young women apologized and stated that they did not set out to promote the “LGBT”* movement.

The reason for drawing up protocols became a video in which one young woman proposed to the other in a local pizzeria, and they were kissing with passion. After that, in the video, the first young woman took the hand of her girlfriend and put a ring on her finger, saying that she wanted to date her. The girlfriend also put a ring on the first young woman’s finger, after that they were kissing.

The police have drawn up administrative protocols against the 24-year-old heroine of the video for promoting non-traditional sexual relationships and/or preferences, gender reassignment. The young woman faces a fine amounting from 100,000 up to 200,000 roubles, respectively, the Directorate for the Krasnodar Territory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) reports in its official Telegram channel.

The second young woman, 19 years old, also got an administrative protocol drawn up against her.

Both young women apologized for their video. One of them has claimed that she does not support the “LGBT”* movement and stands “against the topic.” When asked about the purpose of shooting the video, she answered: “For hype.”

The second young woman, when asked if they thought that their kiss shown on the video could harm the psyche of teenagers, said that she did not think about that.

The “Caucasian Knot” has also reported that a video with a senior pupil from the school in the village of Dinskaya dancing in a Snow Maiden costume aroused discontent among several residents of the area, who complained to the authorities about the “LGBT”* propaganda in a New Year’s performance.

*On November 30, 2023, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation declared the movement an “extremist organization” and banned the “international public movement of LGBT people”. With this decision, the court satisfied the claim of the Russian Ministry of Justice, sent to the court on November 17, 2023.
