Public Figure Calls for Administrative Sanctions After Celebrity Video Leak
An influential leader within a Russian veterans’ organization has urged prosecutors to hold Nikita Dzhigurda and Anastasia Volochkova accountable for alleged immoral acts. The appeal also requests a ban on all performances and theaters connected to the two celebrities. The statement came as part of a broader discussion following the recent scandal sparked by a leaked video showing the two stars dancing together.
The surfaced clip shows Dzhigurda and Volochkova dancing, with a moment in which the actor reportedly removes the ballerina’s trousers and briefly clasps her chest. According to the head of the public group Veterans of Russia, this footage is framed as a continuation of what he calls the ongoing provocative behavior surrounding public figures. He asserts that the video episode follows a separate controversial event linked to a popular blogger and online sensation, suggesting a pattern of intending to draw attention through provocative content.
In his view, the focus of public life should be on patriotic service, youth education, and humanitarian assistance to conflict regions such as Donbass. Instead, he claims, these performances promote social division and serve as a form of self-promotion. He argues that such acts set a negative example for minors and undermine collective civic goals, urging authorities to intervene and penalize the involved individuals as a deterrent.
The discussion continues with amendments to the narrative around the video. Volochkova reportedly responded to media inquiries by indicating there was an alleged leak, asserting that the incident might have been a calculated provocation designed to provoke betrayal. While Dzhigurda denies any wrongdoing, a former director connected to the project indicated that the video was posted by someone else, fueling ongoing speculation about responsibility for the leak and the context of its distribution.
Additionally, public attention turned to media personalities connected to the situation. A television host previously mentioned that Volochkova experienced serious illness and had requested public support, highlighting the fragile nature of the public figures involved and the impact that sensational coverage can have on their personal lives.
