In Tatarstan, a case involving a blogger accused of promoting LGBT content was not proceeded in court, and the matter was sent back to the police for further action.
The incident has been returned to law enforcement for review, and the blogger faced a financial threat ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 rubles as a possible penalty.
The blogger is known for sharing content about personal relationships on a video platform, where the discussions center on intimate life and social topics.
Previously, a court in Kazan, located in the Vakhitovsky District, reviewed a case concerning allegations of promoting unconventional sexual relations by a foreign national. The individual was detained briefly for a seven-day period and faced deportation following the detention, according to information released by the court.
The court’s notice indicated that the foreign national had published a number of videos on a video channel, in which themes related to nontraditional sexual values were presented with a Georgian citizen. Authorities noted that a significant portion of the channel’s audience consisted of younger viewers, with underage subscribers making up a portion of the total following. The case touched on issues of online expression, youth exposure, and the balance between creative freedom and regulatory norms in the online space. The events were covered as part of ongoing discussions about how social platforms handle content related to sexuality, identity, and public morality, and how authorities assess the impact of such material on minors. The broader context includes questions about censorship, digital safety, and the evolving legal landscape for online creators in Russia. This summary reflects statements from the court and official channels that reported on the proceedings, without endorsing or disputing the outcomes. It is important to consider multiple perspectives when evaluating cases that involve diverse cultural and legal frameworks across the region. The information presented is based on public court releases and official notices. (Citation: Kazan court press release and related official communications)
