The attention of the Moscow lawyer Maxim Surov was attracted by the performance of the singer Philip Kirkorov on April 17 at the Oktyabrsky Big Concert Hall in St. Petersburg. In a conversation with Kommersant, Surov noted that he was not present at the concert, but saw footage of the performance on the Web.
So, the lawyer drew attention to the episode when, during the performance of one of the songs, Kirkorov threw his leg over the dancer and hugged him.
After that, Maxim Surov applied to the Prosecutor General’s Office and Roskomnadzor with a statement to check the singer’s actions under Art. 6.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. According to the author of the complaint, the most adequate punishment for the artist in the event of a violation would be an administrative arrest for 14 days.
In turn, the lawyer of Philip Kirkorov, lawyer Alexander Dobrovinsky, in an interview with RIA Novosti, stated that, in his opinion, law enforcement agencies would refuse the applicant, “who sees LGBT communities everywhere, which he himself voluntarily or involuntarily promotes with his publicity.”
He added that the People’s Artist of Russia was not the first to be asked to check for propaganda of non-traditional values.
