In Saint Petersburg, officers from the Russian National Guard detained a man who was walking unclothed on the grounds of the Peter and Paul Fortress, causing concern among bystanders. The incident, as reported by Moyka 78 citing the department’s press service, noted that the individual appeared intoxicated and was only wearing a jacket and boots at the time of his exposure.
Witnesses soon drew the attention of security and museum staff. Personnel from the State Historical Museum alerted law enforcement after observing the man’s inappropriate behavior and a pattern of potential harassment directed at others. According to coverage from the reporting outlet, the guards detained the man but did not immediately remove him from the scene. Instead, they transported him to a hospital as medical personnel assessed his condition and noted that he seemed unaware of his actions at that moment.
Separately, in another region, a separate incident occurred near a school in Seltso, Tosnensky District, Leningrad Region. A man who was partially clothed walked around with a jacket over his nude torso, which frightened children who were near the facility. A nearby resident explained that, after stepping out of a car parked adjacent to the school, the individual began behaving in a way that alarmed the students, prompting police attention and ongoing investigation by local authorities.
Officials emphasized that public safety remains the primary concern in both reports. In Saint Petersburg, authorities are reviewing the events to determine whether any other safeguards were needed at the fortress site and to assess whether additional steps should be taken to prevent similar disturbances in the future. In the Tosnensky District case, investigators are examining the sequence of actions that led to the disturbance and will coordinate with school administrators to reinforce student safety and community awareness. The overarching goal, as stated by law enforcement and local authorities, is to protect residents while ensuring fair treatment for individuals who may be experiencing intoxication or other impairments that affect behavior, and to connect them with appropriate medical or social services when necessary. Attributions for these updates come from the press services of the reporting outlets and official statements issued to the public by city and regional authorities.
