Stand-up comedian Dima Gavrilov was arrested for 13 days because of a joke

Stand-up comedian Dmitry Gavrilov was arrested for 13 days on charges of inciting hatred because of a video of his performance last year in Tbilisi. During the concert, among other things, he joked about the military department, his departure from Russia to Georgia in connection with mobilization, as well as life in a new place. “In order not to relax, I wrote on the wall at home: “Fuck Russians,” just so as not to forget where I am,” Gavrilov said. On September 6, the artist began a tour of Russia, but two days later he was detained in Nizhny Novgorod, and performances in other cities were cancelled. Channels associated with security forces published a video where the comedian apologizes for the jokes. #ovdinfo #shorts #Gavrilov
