Teenager gets 15 days’ detention after performance at scene of heroic battle
Three women have been jailed in Russia for filming themselves performing an “erotic” dance in front of a Second World War memorial.
Margarita Radetskaya, a 19-year-old student, was put behind bars for 15 days, while Yana Kutakova, 24, and Yekaterina Shcherbedinskaya, 26, were given a 10-day sentence each.
The trio were prosecuted for “minor hooliganism” after putting a video online of themselves doing what prosecutors called an "erotic and sexual twerk dance" in front of the Soviet-era Malaya Zemlya memorial near Novorossiysk on the Black Sea coast.
The women apparently filmed the video – set to the song “F**k You Tonite” by the Jamaican musician Aidonia - to promote a local dance club called Art Dance.
Two other dancers from the video received fines, and the parents of the sixth, a 15-year-old schoolgirl, were charged with failing in their duties to “maintain and bring up” a minor. The mother of the girl was also fined for failing to provide “measures to ensure the spiritual and moral development of a child”.
Prosecutors said they had taken up the case in order to protect a “monument of military history and culture”.
The Novaya Zemlya monument marks the scene of a beachhead secured by Red Army marines during Nazi occupation of the area in 1943.
Victory in the Second World War is of totemic significance in Russia, and patriotic feelings are running high ahead of the 70th anniversary of the end of the war on May 9, when there will be a military parade on Red Square in Moscow.
There has been a series of prosecutions in recent years of people urinating on or otherwise extinguishing eternal flames at war memorials in Russia.
The incident in Novorossiysk follows a scandal earlier this month when a group of teenage girls in leotards and mini skirts were filmed performed a twerking dance called “The Bees and Winnie Pooh” in Orenburg.
State investigators are looking into whether that dance was a "debauched action" involving under-age participants.
