Orthodox rules are quite different from the rest of the world. They are not open minded and get offended easily. It is wrong but as per their orthodox rules they were right.
They broke the law, so yeah, but still... What do you expect from religious people
I will never understand Russians and their crazy laws
Haha! This is great! Finally someone has to take accountability for their actions. God bless Russia.
Well, they achieved their goal, they're (somewhat) famous.
If that was what they went to prison for then no that's stupid.
You visit another country and should bulk up on the laws. Chew gum in Singapore.
Some laws aren't in the public interest. This is a prime example.
Absolutely. In America you could get years in jail for doing that and then having to register as a sex offender too. Stupid to do something like that.
Well it’s Russia it doesn’t surprise me. I’m Greek Orthodox I took pictures in front of church anc pictures of churches I haven’t been arrested.
Yeah, there's actually more to it, which I included in my reply. Picture-taking in front of a church is not the problem in & of itself. Her pose & police uniform-jacket in the actual problem-picture (not posted by the original-poster) are the problem.
No, course not. But if they knew the law and did it anyway, than its on them.
I don't agree with the concept of prison, but sure, stopping indecency is a good thing.
Yes absolutely if they did it in front of a mosque they'd be dead disrespectful cunts
I disagree and hate the church anyway, but you should know your laws.
Am I missing something about why that picture is supposedly offensive?
Russia seems like the white version of Islamist countries.
It's the most corrupt country I have ever visited, I can attest to that.
@DryGermanGuy were you followed by secret police? I hear some tourists have been.
That noticing would make it not very secret then? ;-)
No, I just paid off cops on three occasions. One of them the classic drunk traffic cop in a highwayman holdup scheme. These militias are the bottom of the barrel with a ~100 US$ wage in cities where you need a ~1000 US$ to survive.
It’s because she’s showing her butt, I think if it was selfie, they wouldn’t give that hefty of a sentence
I agree, look at her bum as if she's wearing nothing...
@TonyMetal___86 she has white leggings that her butthole is swallowing
True 👍🏻
No that’s crazy maybe just a fine and then leave the country, maybe Russia need some free slave labor in their prison
How was a picture an insult?
Russia is full of freaking snowflakes
@NorthwestRider I know they have a lot of cold weather and snow but...
They MUST be snowflakes to get their panties in a bind over a picture of a church!
That's religious people for you
@NorthwestRider I'm glad I'M not a cult member!!
Me too
The reply of @ChrisMaster69 will make it clear. To make things worse, she's wearing a police uniform-jacket (as es explained in my reply).
@N192K001 I have no idea what Chris said.
Is it a crime to wear that jacket? I didn't even notice she was wearing a jacket!
In many jurisdictions, impersonating an officer is a crime. Certainly posting online a picture of her kneeling in front of him to look like oral-sex with "POLICE" written on her jacket facing the camera with a world-famous church as the background would be asking for trouble. Apparently, they're the 1st to be charged with the specific recently-legislated law.
@N192K001 Paul McCartney was wearing attire from the Canadian police on the cover of Sgt. Pepper.
Where did you ever get the idea they wee having oral sex? In order for one to even ASSUME that, one of them would HAVE to have their head buried in the crotch of the other!!
What makes this church famous? I've never seen it before in my life! People take pictures in front of the vatican all the time and nothing is ever said or done about it so, who cares about a little stinking church?
IF her jacket says, "police" on the back or anywhere else on it, I never saw it! Nor would I even given HALF a shit if I WAS a cop!! Intentionally impersonatiing a cop is one thing, just wearing the jacket of one is a COMPLETELY different thing.
That's St. Basil’s Cathedral.
![They took pictures in front of the church to become famous on TikTok. They were sentenced to 10 months in prison! Do you think it's the right decision?]()
On the same street as the Kremlin, it's as iconic to Russia as the Statue of Liberty is the the U. S. Add to that the conservative Orthodox Christian sentiments of the locals, the immigrant boyfriend form predominantly Muslim Tajikistan (& hence most likely Muslim) apparently dissing the rival religion's most famous church in the region, and things get problematic. (Imagine if the roles were reversed!)
As to that judgement, it was made by their court, as well as many viewers of her post on Instagram made the same conclusion.
And considering Russia's laws against impersonating an officer being strict (enough to cause a Russian who cloned a Mexican police-car in Russia to lose his mods & license for 2years), but no mention of charges against her despite the uniform-jacket, seems to suggest she may be an officer, but Moscow is too embarrassed to admit it. If this is so, disciplinary-measures on her would not be surprising to me.
Laws & sentiments vary by jurisdiction. No matter what, it's generally best to respect the locals & their sentiments when traveling, and avoid getting your potential-spouse in trouble.
@N192K001 Should we care about Russian feelings? They seem like a bunch of snowflakes
@N192K001 AAAAAWWW!!! YOU TOOK A PICTURE OF IT!!! YOU'RE GONNA GO TO JAIL!!!
lol Yeah, I would have done differently (fined them both for the stupidity, wave a warning of potential-deportation for the Tajik guy for the next stunt if any, and potential disciplinary-measures on the Russian girl if & only if she actually is a cop for shaming her workplace) if I were the supreme ruler of Russia, but sentiments vary by jurisdiction.
It's fine to have disagreements (I know I have mine, as do you both though yours are even farther), I just wanted to make sure that if you disagree, it's an more informed disagreement, than from an incompletely-report. (And that if you decide to travel, that it becomes common-sense to research and make sure the laws & local sentiments are reasonably close to yours, to avoid unnecessary trouble. And remember common-sense. They may not have copied the stupid stunt a Chinese tourist did by spray-painting essentially "I was here." in Mandarin on priceless ancient wall-paintings in Egypt, but the legal result of an unnecessary & avoidable act is the same.)
@N192K001 I would've never wasted my time arresting them, in the first place. They didn't harm anything.
The asshole that grafiitti'd that painting would get quite a severe punishment!!
@FunkyMonkee True. The thing for me is that the foreigner is publicly mocking the nation that let him in. If they guy has so little basic respect (or even potential hostility) for the locals and is just holding it in, what could happen if a local actually gets him mad enough to cancel his self-imposed limiters? But then again, detecting this and determining if the potential newcomer in his natural state would be a good fit for the country & vice versa should have been Immigration's job, not Law-Enforcement's. That's already too late. An imperfection in their system laid-out in world-news, it seems.
@N192K001 I don't see how. If he/she was burning the flag or something terrible like that, I could see your point. Just taking an innocent picture wouldn't even make me look twice!
Do you have any ludes? Maybe you should take a couple. I think you're getting your panties in a bunch over nothing.
@FunkyMonkee Sure, if it were just any church. But that's St. Basil's Cathedral, a a world-recognized national icon. And if they turned the camera to the side, the background would be the Kremlin, yet another! That's like doing it in front of the White House & Washington Monument (in a world where the 2 are just 1 block from each other). I would consider that lake flag-burning. But that's just me.
@N192K001 So? What makes it special and warants no pictures being taken of it, except the one you took?
Taking a picture of a building is like flag-burning? Can't see how!
@FunkyMonkee Dude, are we even discussing the same pose in the same picture?
![Couple took graphic pictures in front of St. Basil's Cathedral to become famous on TikTok. They were sentenced to 10 months in prison! Do you think that's the right decision?]()
This may apply to me more as a 1st generation-immigrant with this mentality drilled into me for decades straight, but WHEN NOT A CITIZEN…
rule #1 Do not give immigration-agents ANY grounds for deportation (as defined and judged by them, not you) EVER;
#2 Do not diss the the national symbols (building or not, especially not posted online for public to see);
#3 Do not diss their national religions, especially in conservative societies (again, especially not online);
#4 Do not attract attention of (or worse, "even APPEAR to diss") local law-enforcement (especially with what could possibly be interpreted as impersonating an officer); and
#5 IF violations of #1-4 at the same time are unavoidable, don't do it in front of their seat of government (like they did in front of the Kremlin).
Sentiments vary by jurisdiction. If they did this in front of their iconic & deeply-religious Ka'abah in Saudi Arabia, they'd be dead before the police arrived (in a world were the King had a royal palace in front of their religious site). I'm not sure what would happen if they did the same in front of the Eiffel Tower (if the Élysée Palace were built in front of it). If they did this in front of the Forbidden City, I can only cringe at what mainland Chinese guards would do to them.
When abroad, it is very important to avoid even the appearance of dissing the locals, which involves being in touch with and psychologizing the locals' sentiments. Otherwise, it may be safest to stay within your own borders.
@N192K001 Apparently not because, the one I saw had the two of them standing together chest to chest with her looking at the cameraman behind her. If you wanted to discuss THIS picture, you should've POSTED THIS picture. I'm SURE you can see the one at the top of this page just as plainly as I can!
As for your pictiure, I can't see that she's got his dick in her mouth! Can you? Just because she's posed like that doesn't mean she's doing what you think she's doing.
Apparently so. Had I included the picture earlier, this discussion would have been much shorter.
And yes, it's suggested & not explicit. But, that was enough to catch the eye of law-enforcement, whose attention is generally best avoided when abroad. This lesson they learned the hard way.
Anyway, it's 1:30am in my timezone. If your time is similar enough and your schedule is not a night-shift, rest well and have a good night.
@N192K001 Yeah, I would say so.
Same time here but I'm used to going to bed at anywhere from 7 to 10 a. m.!! Comes from many years of staying up very late with the band! I WILL have to flop in the next couple hours, though, I gotta get up by about 11.
Nighty night! Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite!
I hope it was really good head lol. It'd have to be to be worth 10 months.
I hate how intellectually dishonest you people are in spreading your narrative
Did they want to get imprisoned to get famous?
There’s nothing wrong with pic
That picture is not the problem-picture. I added the explanation to on my reply, if you'd like to see.
She's wearing a uniform-jacket of Russian police. The problem-picture has her kneeling in front of him and simulating oral-sex on him with the uniform-jacket's label right in front for all to see, while a church is set as the background.
I’m confused, what exactly did you do wrong?
Yes, they knew it was forbidden and did it anyway,
No prison time send them to their own Country
What laws did they actually break?
The Moscow Times cites this Russian-language Moscow state-media T. A. S. S. article aimed internally and with generally more detail than the externally-aimed counterparts R. T. & Sputnik.
https://tass.ru/proisshestviya/12799641
Using an online translator, paragraph 2 reads:
「"Today, the verdict in the case of Bobiev and Chistova was announced in the magistrate's court district No. 370. The court found them guilty under Part 1 of Article 148 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (public actions expressing obvious disrespect for society and committed in order to offend the religious feelings of believers) and imposed a sentence of 10 months in prison for each serving a sentence in a general regime colony," the press service said.」
So, apparently an anti-blaspheme law.
It's a shitty law designed to be interpreted differently to convict ennemies of the state, but it is a law nonetheless
True, the law is problematic by my homelands' standards, too. But, it is something to keep in mind for anyone planning to travel there.
LOCK THEM UP!
What?
@Kelly6 You heard me!
Are you drunk
@NorthwestRider Kelly6 might not be drunk. Maybe she is ultra liberal? She is entitled to her opinion though. :)
Lol asking you if you are drunk by saying lock them up
@NorthwestRider are you drunk?
@ChefPapiChulo Nope are you
@NorthwestRider i dont drink. but you're assuming someone is drunk. so its fair to assume you are drunk too based on your logic.
@ChefPapiChulo I think anyone who said lock someone up over a picture is drunk
@NorthwestRider that is also false logic. a picture can prove that a crime has been committed.
@ChefPapiChulo![Couple took graphic pictures in front of St. Basil's Cathedral to become famous on TikTok. They were sentenced to 10 months in prison! Do you think that's the right decision?]()
Yeah I’ve seen it looks like a crime to me.
You got triggered by that picture
@NorthwestRider who’s triggered? You?
Putting people in prison over that is stupid.
A fine would have been enaugh
Russia is less lenient about things like this
@JesseJayNeak This was the actual photo that got them jailed![They took pictures in front of the church to become famous on TikTok. They were sentenced to 10 months in prison! Do you think it's the right decision?]()
@WhiteBoyChill i imagined something else. But again, Russia is Russia
Yes, most people can get fucked.
Russians are highly on there religious beliefs
And that's why I am against them
What is the crime?
Per another user’s comment, apparently in a separate photo (not the one shown here), the woman was simulating oral sex on the man
@WhiteBoyChill In the US, that would be considered horribly poor taste by some, in offensive to others, but definitely not illegal unless she was actually giving him oral sex in public.
Yeah but I think the punishment fits the crime tho because children deserve to be protected from those kinds of expressions
A child won't really think much about these stuff, not unless the adults make a big fuss about it which would trigger their curiosity
That's how Russia rolls, man.
For JUST taking pictures?
Nah, that blonde there was in a blowjob pose right in front of the church
Well you know how Christians can be
Serves her right for doing a stupid pose like that
WDAF?
She was released
Wow that absurd
Heathens
Yeah, lock em up.
