In Anapa, authorities pursued administrative accountability against the parents of two young women who were seen smoking near the Eternal Flame. The case was framed as a violation of the duty to raise minors, and the issue emerged from reports issued by the district attorney’s office and the press service that tracked the proceedings.
During a municipal session focused on protecting the rights of minors, the parents were present to respond to questions about their role in guiding their children. The commission concluded that the parents had failed to meet their parental duties and imposed penalties, including a fine and preventive registration measures, aimed at monitoring and encouraging more responsible parenting practices.
At the meeting, the prosecutor highlighted gaps in preventive work carried out by the relevant authorities. The discussion led to the organization of actions in response to the prosecutor’s findings, as noted by the press service.
Earlier, a video circulated on social networks showing youths near the monument to soldiers who died in the Great Patriotic War in the village of Anapskaya. The footage depicted one person lighting a cigarette from the Eternal Flame and included commentary that the group planned to desecrate the monument. Police subsequently identified two teenage girls, aged 15 and 17, and detained them in connection with the incident. These events prompted a swift legal and administrative response aimed at addressing youth behavior and safeguarding public memorials. This sequence of events was reported by local authorities and covered by media outlets at the time. (Source: regional press release and law enforcement communications)
