The Moscow Khamovnichesky Court returned the class action against blogger and TV host Nastya Ivleeva to the applicants, as reported by TASS. The case centers on Ivleeva’s infamous “naked” party and the request for compensation, which the plaintiffs set at one billion rubles, alleging moral damage.
On December 26, the Khamovnichesky Trial accepted the claim for one billion rubles against Ivleeva. The initiator of the suit was Alexander Inshakov, known as a producer and actor from the project Brigade. It subsequently emerged that Ivleeva’s property could be subject to seizure within the framework of the dispute. In addition to the financial demand, the plaintiffs sought an order banning Ivleeva from giving public speeches and from hosting cultural events across Russia, including corporate gatherings and appearances on brand campaigns.
The controversy traces back to a party Ivleeva hosted on December 20 at the Mutabor club. Attendees were invited under a dress code that required guests to arrive in a nearly nude state. Among those present were public figures such as Ksenia Sobchak, Olga Orlova, Philip Kirkorov, the duo Glukoza, Lolita Milyavskaya, Oksana Samoilova, rapper Vacio, and Dzhigan. The event drew swift criticism for its provocative theme and the explicit nature of the evening.
In the aftermath, Ivleeva and several attendees issued public apologies regarding the party. The episode also led to a broader discussion about media figures, celebrity conduct, and the boundaries of public performances in contemporary Russian culture.
Earlier, the Mutabor club had its activities suspended in connection with the naked party, an action that underscored the sensitivity of the event and its potential consequences for the venue. The unfolding legal proceedings continue to attract attention from both supporters and critics, highlighting ongoing tensions between personal branding, public decorum, and the responsibilities that accompany high-profile personas.
As the case proceeds, observers are watching to see how the court balances questions of reputation, freedom of expression, and the accountability of public figures in relation to large-scale financial claims. The overall matter raises broader questions about how similar incidents could influence future celebrity-led events, media coverage, and regulatory responses within Russia’s cultural and legal landscape.
