The organizer of the event, TV presenter Anastasia Ivleeva, could be imprisoned for five years, and they began to “cut off oxygen” to Russian artists.
An incredible scandal has erupted in Russia over a so-called “nude” party hosted by blogger Anastasia Ivleeva in Moscow. The party with an almost naked dress code was loud and fun, but its consequences were very serious: the organizer would face up to five years, and the stars of Russian show business, such as Philip Kirkorov and Lolita, were canceled and cut their concerts outside the New Year lights.
Where everything started
A week ago, a party with an almost naked dress code took place in the Moscow club Mutabor. The event was organized by video blogger and TV presenter Anastasia Ivleeva. Among the guests were journalist Ksenia Sobchak, singers Lolita Milyavskaya, Philip Kirkorov, rapper Dzhigan with blogger Oksana Samoilova and others. The former soloist of the duet Artik & Asti, the Ukrainian Anna Asti, who lives in the Russian Federation and is silent about the war, performed on stage.
Photos from the candid party quickly spread on social networks. In the photos, the guests posed in translucent clothes, and one of the guests at the event, the rapper Vacio (real name Nikolai Vasiliev), was completely naked, with only socks on in his private parts.
After discussing the party on social networks, some deputies of the State Duma contacted the prosecutor’s office with a request to examine the event for the presence of LGBT propaganda. Among those who decided to complain to law enforcement officials were the public Orthodox movements of the Russian Federation.
The next day, a similar party was organized at the Mutabor club, but for ordinary Muscovites. However, during the celebration, the security forces burst into the area. Subsequently, however, Roskomnadzor found signs of LGBT propaganda in photos and videos from the “nude” party.
Tax audit and apology from the stars
After the event, the artists who attended fell out of favor with the Kremlin: their concerts began to be canceled, television broadcasts were reformatted, and Ivleeva was seized by the tax authorities. Against this background, some artists and the organizer of the party released a video message of apology.
So, Ivleeva herself initially disagreed with the criticism, but later changed her mind and published two video messages. The blogger justified that the party was part of a photography presentation for Playboy magazine, and promised to donate the proceeds to charity.

He later apologized to the artists, noting that it “pained him to realize that everyone was tarred under the same brush,” and asked the Russians for a “second chance.” However, Russian Z-publics wrote with satisfaction that Ivleeva faced five years in prison for “tax evasion on a particularly large scale.” In turn, the Russian tax service, which, apparently, was given a directive from somewhere “higher,” initiated an audit of the blogger’s business.
In addition, it was found that Ivleeva’s companies had problems blocking accounts, and information about her legal entity was considered “unreliable.”
Later, the singer Philip Kirkorov said that he knew about the event itself, but did not know “the nature of the events taking place here” and quickly left there, having been there for “five minutes .” He said he knew he had “made a mistake.”
“In these difficult times, heroes, an artist of the people cannot and should not be so irresponsible about participating in any events,” said the singer.

Kirkorov noted that he is an actor and a patriot “only of his country” and never tried to “sit on two chairs” and never leave Russia.
“The last thing I want is for such an event, a mistake on my part, to be the reason for limiting my creativity in Russia,” said the artist.
An apology was also published by Ksenia Sobchak, who first noted that although one may not like the party, “where and when adults go with bare buttocks is their own business.” The journalist apologized to those who may have been offended by his appearance, saying that he “loves his country” and did not want to “cause outrage and anger because of a stupid incident.”
Singer Dima Bilan also posted a comment about the party. Everything that started happening in his name after the party was “misinformation and even slander,” he said. The singer explained that attending events is part of her job and that she knows about the dress code, but she “doesn’t know in advance what” other people will be wearing.
Punishment for Russian show business
Singer Lolita Milyavskaya told Russian media that she would “cut off the television” and demanded that all concerts be cancelled. TV channels are also considering the possibility of removing other party participants from the “blue lights”.
Kirkorov’s website has already been blocked in the Russian Federation, and the singer himself has been removed from Russian New Year comedy posters. Ivan Vasilievich changed everything. The general director of the TNT channel, Tina Kandelaki, said that the channel is reshooting some movie scenes.
Ukrainian Anna Asti (real name Anna Dzyuba) canceled her New Year’s corporate party at the Moscow club Gipsy.
The mobile operator MTS excludes advertising from broadcasting on Ivleeva, and there is information that Tinkoff Bank refuses to cooperate with him.
The Mutabor club, where the nude party took place, was sealed off by security forces for a month. After the police and Rospotrebnadzor checked, it turned out that some of the alcoholic beverages were sold without a license. The club postponed its New Year event.
Rapper Vacio, who came to the party with only socks on his penis, was fined 200 thousand rubles and arrested for 15 days under the articles of petty hooliganism and LGBT propaganda. He said he wanted to surprise partygoers by copying the image of the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The rapper apologized and added that he “doesn’t support LGBT people and doesn’t want any bad propaganda.”
