In Moscow on Red Square on December 17, singer Anastasia Svezhevskaya, actress Evgenia Scorpan and videographer Ilya Kirdyapkin were detained because of filming in the slavic girl style. ASTRA reports this.
Svezhevskaya was dressed in a fur coat and posed with caviar and bagels, and Scorpan, in a police uniform, acted out her arrest on camera, while Kirdyapkin filmed what was happening on video. The filming attracted the attention of riot police: all three were taken to the police department. Protocols were drawn up against Svezhevskaya and Kirdyapkin under the article on the rally (Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses), and against Skorpan - on the illegal wearing of uniforms (Article 17.12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).
On November 20, 41-year-old Gulina Naumann was detained on Red Square because of a similar filming. The woman wanted to film herself eating a large sandwich with red caviar on the street. She and her friend, who was the video operator, were taken to the police department, but were later released without drawing up reports.
