In Novosibirsk, authorities are pursuing a case involving a local blogger who staged a dangerous stunt on top of a moving car. The information surfaced through Mash Siberia, a Telegram channel that reported the incident as it unfolded.
The event centers on a 21-year-old blogger named Bogdan, who climbed onto the roof of a Mitsubishi with parts missing, including a bumper, and left a headlight exposed. He positioned a pyrotechnic device between his legs and ignited the fuse while the vehicle continued to move through the city streets. Onlookers from the vehicle ahead captured the moment on video, illustrating the audacious nature of the stunt.
Witnesses say the primary aim was to gain attention for the blogger’s channel by releasing fireworks during transit. The sequence drew the scrutiny of traffic police, who began pursuing Bogdan as a potential case of reckless behavior and public safety violation. The authorities’ interest highlights how social media stunts can quickly intersect with public safety concerns and law enforcement priorities, especially when they involve dangerous props and exposure to moving traffic.
According to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the incident delves into potential penalties. Specifically, Article 12.23 addresses the transportation of people outside the cabin of a car, and an administrative fine of up to 1,000 rubles can be imposed for such conduct. This legal reference underscores how authorities weigh the risks of passengers being placed in harm’s way by daring but unlawful stunts, including the use of pyrotechnics in an urban environment.
In a related note, earlier reports from Chelyabinsk customs authorities described a separate breach where a truck carrying beer into Russia was not cleared through typical regulatory channels. The mention serves to illustrate the broader context in which transportation and safety regulations intersect with public events and enforcement efforts across different regions, though the incident with the blogger remains the focal point of this report.
