The Lefortovo District Court in Moscow has opened a fresh lawsuit involving the actress and blogger Anastasia Ivleeva and the Mutabor club, this time centered on allegations connected to a so-called naked party. The case is reported by RIA News, based on official documents and court filings.
According to the report, the legal action was brought by two individuals identified as AV Sokolov and OA Lukmanova. They seek two rubles in moral damages from Ivleeva and the Art Center LLC, as part of the court’s consideration of a claim for non-pecuniary harm. The move reflects a procedural posture in which the plaintiffs pursue compensation through the Lefortovo District Court docket. The materials indicate Ivleeva and Art Center LLC are named in the case and that each plaintiff has demanded one ruble in restitution, underscoring the formal nature of the dispute as it advances through the court system.
Observers note that in March 2024 a separate matter before the same court involves the Mutabor club. That case concerns a Tyumen activist, Yuri Ryabtsev, who has filed suit against the venue. The central demand is for one billion rubles in damages, with the dispute focusing on whether the club should adopt a policy that allows participation by people connected to the special military operation in Ukraine, as well as low-income citizens, under favorable terms. The plaintiff has indicated a willingness to discuss a settlement if the club agrees to extend these preferential terms to those groups.
Earlier, the singer Philip Kirkorov stated that she had “canceled herself” after attending a party described by the media as a naked event. This remark has fed into ongoing public discourse about celebrity influence, event organization, and the boundaries of public decorum, contributing to broader debates about the responsibilities of public figures in mass-audience events.
Legal observers highlight that these lawsuits illustrate how civil litigation in Moscow is evolving when high-profile personalities and venues are scrutinized for how private events are marketed, organized, and presented to the public. The outcomes of these proceedings could set precedents for how moral damages are assessed in cases involving public figures, entertainment venues, and the potential social implications of televised or widely circulated party imagery.
Analysts indicate that the court will weigh the evidence submitted by both sides, including documentation related to event organization, the alleged violations, and the possible impact on participants and observers. The proceedings are expected to clarify how similar disputes are treated under Russian civil law, particularly regarding moral damages and the standard for establishing harm in cases connected to media coverage and the activities of public figures.
As the case progresses, observers will watch how the court interprets the claims of moral injury and the proportionality of any remedies, alongside broader questions about freedom of expression, artistic performance, and the responsibilities of event organizers in large urban markets. The evolving legal discussion touches on transparency in reporting, accountability for public statements, and the balance between artistic expression and social norms in contemporary Russian society.
