Breast Exposure in Front of Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow

Three years ago, Russian authorities issued an international arrest warrant for a Ukrainian female model who filmed a video exposing her chest in front of Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, Russia.

On the 20th (local time), foreign media such as the New York Post and The Sun reported that Ukrainian model Lolita Bogdanova (24) was banned from leaving Russia and placed on an international wanted list. Three years ago, before Russia invaded Ukraine, she filmed a video exposing her chest by lifting her top in front of Saint Basil's Cathedral located in Red Square, Moscow, Russia.

Built in 1561, Saint Basil's Cathedral is a symbolic building of Moscow well known as the background image of the game 'Tetris' and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Upon learning of Bogdanova's exposure, Russian Orthodox believers were deeply displeased that she committed a sacrilegious act in front of the sacred church dedicated to Saint Basil, who is venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Bogdanova later apologized for the exposure video but explained, "The video was filmed several years ago and was uploaded by someone else, not me."

Despite this explanation, the controversy did not easily subside, and Russian authorities eventually issued a ban on Bogdanova leaving Russia. It is reported that Bogdanova avoided detention only after signing a pledge not to leave Russia until a full investigation is completed. However, posts appeared on social media that seemed to show her filming in places such as the United States. Because of this, netizens have raised suspicions that she may have already fled to the U.S.

In response, on the 20th, Russian authorities announced, "The problematic video is still spreading through social media," and "an international arrest warrant has been issued for Bogdanova." The Russian authorities did not disclose the exact charges against Bogdanova, only stating that the international arrest warrant was issued on 'criminal charges.' Foreign media reported, "The recent resurgence of the video has triggered the anger of Russian authorities, which seems to have led to the search for Bogdanova." Some speculate that this may be an attempt to divert public criticism that arose after the suspicious death of Putin's political opponent Alexei Navalny in prison.
