Girl photographer Inna Mosina from Saratov received a fine of 1.5 thousand rubles for demonstrating extremist symbols of the LGBT movement (The “International LGBT Social Movement” is recognized as extremist in Russia and is banned) on his personal page on social networks, reports the Svobodnye Novosti publication. The girl used a rainbow in the compositions of her photographs. At the same time, the police were unable to answer Mosina’s clarifying question about what exact colors were painted on the flag of the extremist movement.
As the publication clarifies, this is the first time in the Russian Federation that people have been tried for displaying the colors of the rainbow on the Internet. According to the girl, in her profession she specializes in social issues, and uses multi-colored palettes to give greater effect to her compositions. At the same time, Mosina clarified that she was working on the problems of baldness, and the photos themselves were taken 3-6 years ago, when the legislation did not yet have the concept of “international LGBT movement.” However, the court did not take into account the defendant’s arguments and imposed a fine on Mosina.
Let us remind you that earlier the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that there is no ban on rainbows in Russia. This is how a Kremlin representative commented on the case of Nizhny Novgorod resident Anastasia Ershova, who was accused of displaying extremist symbols in a cafe for wearing earrings with a rainbow. The girl was sentenced to five days of administrative arrest.
