The court sentenced the former coordinator of Navalny's Arkhangelsk headquarters to 2.5 years in prison for reposting a Rammstein video

Judge Alexey Valkov of the Lomonosovsky District Court of Arkhangelsk sentenced Andrey Borovikov, former coordinator of the local headquarters of Alexei Navalny, to 2.5 years in a general regime colony for reposting on VKontakte a video for the song Pussy by Rammstein, lawyer Alexey Kychin told Mediazona.

Borovikov was found guilty of. Borovikov denied guilt, emphasizing that the same clip was published on social networks by hundreds of people. The prosecutor's office asked for three years in a maximum security colony for him - the activist had previously been convicted of repeated violations at rallies.

A sexological and cultural examination concluded that the Pussy video contains pornographic scenes and has no cultural value.

Former volunteer of the headquarters Alexander Durynin took part in the operational search activities in the case, who, under the control of operatives, came to Borovikov with a hidden video camera and filmed him deleting the clip.

The song Pussy from the 2009 album Liebe ist für alle da is written from the perspective of a sex-obsessed German man who “can’t get laid” in his homeland and travels abroad for sexual conquests without strings attached. In the video, the band members act out several stereotypical male roles from porn films, and at the end they have sex; In the regular version of the video, the nude footage is blurred.
