The Investigative Committee (IC) opened a criminal case on insulting the feelings of believers (part 1 of article 148 of the Criminal Code) because of a video in which a model in underwear poses against the backdrop of a mosque in Moscow. This was reported by the press service of the department.

We are talking about the Moscow Cathedral Mosque in the metro area of Prospekt Mira. According to investigators, a certain group of people in the video aimed to “desecrate a religious shrine revered by believers.” The report states that investigators have established the identity and location of the suspect, born in 1981. The Investigative Committee plans to interrogate all those who took part in the filming.
This morning, a video appeared on the Internet in which a girl-photographer and a model in a fur coat and underwear were captured against the backdrop of a mosque. Later, blogger Maria Katanova published a post on her Instagram page, from which it can be assumed that it was she who was captured in the video as a photographer. At the same time, Katanova told the Shot telegram channel that she saw two girls taking pictures and told them that it was “so unacceptable” to film, and then took a couple of pictures “for her guide.” “A video that I accidentally came across went viral,” the girl wrote.
According to Katanova, at that moment, when she saw the girls taking pictures, she got the idea to prepare a material on how people should not have photo shoots to “develop their personal and commercial accounts.” Further, from the blogger’s post it follows that she took several pictures of the model, but “not with the aim of offending someone’s feelings, but exactly the opposite.”
Later, Katanova published an apology on her page. “I am against such actions. And I regret that the video got on the Internet with a different meaning, ”the girl wrote.
In recent months, several cases have been initiated due to photographs with bare parts of the body. Against the webcam model Lola Bunny, who bared her breasts against the backdrop of St. Basil's Cathedral, the UK opened a criminal case for insulting the feelings of believers (part 1 of article 148 of the Criminal Code). Irina Volkova, who bared her buttocks near St. Isaac's Cathedral, is accused under the same article.
At the end of October, a court in Moscow sentenced blogger from Tajikistan Ruslan Bobiev and his girlfriend Anastasia Chistova to 10 months in prison for a photo with imitation of oral sex on Basil's Cathedral in the background.
