The head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, demanded that a criminal case be opened over the Instagram post of blogger Sergei Kosenko, who threw his two-month-old son into a snowdrift. This was reported in the department's Telegram channel.
Kosenko, who lives abroad, posted a video with a baby on January 7, announcing it in his story as the potential “most popular video on Instagram.” In the video, he throws up a child in overalls at a ski resort, and in slow motion he falls into a deep snowdrift.
The blogger responded to criticism in the comments: “Did you really believe that I would throw my own son into the snow?” — and then added to the story “Leo is already sleeping, the children like the snow)).” He soon deleted the video. Communist deputy Nina Ostanina promised to contact law enforcement agencies because of the video.
Kosenko has almost 7 million followers on Instagram. He positions himself as an investor in cryptocurrencies and sells courses dedicated to this.
