A blogger from majority Muslim Tajikistan, who would never dare to do the same thing in front of a mosque, has been jailed for simulating a sex act in front of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow's Red Square.
The blogger, Ruslan Bobiev, got his "girlfriend" Anastasia Chistova to wear a jacket emablazoned with the Russian word for "Police" and kneel in front of him with the cathedral in the background. They were then photographed by a cameraman as they simulated a scene intended to look like a Russian police woman sucking off a Muslim man in front of the Russian church. Bobiev then posted the offending photograph on his Instagram and TikTok accounts on September 29.
Tajiki blogger Bobiev outstaying his welcome.
The Russian authorities took the correct response to a blatant act that was intended not only to insult Christian sentiment but also to provoke inter-ethnic strife. Russia has a large migrant population of non-Russian Muslims, many from former Soviet republics like Tajikistan. Accordingly Bobiev and Chistova were both arrested and jailed for 10 months.
The only question is whether Bobiev is a dopamine-fuelled hit junkie who was just doing this for the clicks, or else a paid operative of the CIA, working to stir up divisions in Putin's Russia by offending Christians and insulting Russian women in this degrading way.
A video of a chastised and humiliated Bobiev being interviewed by police soon after his arrest has been released on YouTube.
In a clear victory for public morals, Bobiev will also be deported back to his native Tajikistan after completing his sentence.
Good move.
