The musical channel was fined 1 million rubles for the video “Dance Minus” - the Tagansky District Court of Moscow saw “propaganda of LGBT. The court ruling drew attention to the “layout”.

According to the case file, the clip was shown on the day of the channel on July 24, 2023. The protocol on the offense, employees of the “Main Radio -Frequency Center” (GRCHC) subordinate to Roskomnadzor were drawn up two months later - on September 28.

The clip, which has become the subject of trial, lasts about 4 minutes. Nine seconds of the clip are devoted to the kiss of two girls.

GRCHC employees interpreted this fragment as the “scene of the non -verbal interaction of two persons of the same biological sex (female)” and saw in it “gestures of affection and tactile gestures, as well as scenes of kisses of two persons of the same biological sex”.

The defense insisted that the clip “does not contain scenes of sexual relations between representatives of the same sex, but promotes love for Russia and its cities-St. Petersburg and Moscow.” However, the judge did not agree with these arguments and found the television channel guilty of "distribution among minor information demonstrating non -traditional sexual relations."
