"A man in Russia has reportedly been ordered to be deported after authorities treated his positive online review of a leather miniskirt as LGBTQ+ “propaganda”, under the country's restrictions on so-called “non-traditional” content."
"The man is said to have posted the review on Wildberries in September 2025, writing: “What a lovely little skirt! It hides not just the flaws in my figure, but also the fact that I'm a guy”. The review reportedly included photographs."
"A statement attributed to the Tula court said: “[The man] committed propaganda of non-traditional sexual preferences by disseminating information aimed at forming non-traditional sexual attitudes... namely photographs demonstrating his appearance, being dressed in women's clothing”. It added: “[The man] admitted guilt... and confirmed the publication of photographs and comments promoting non-traditional sexual preferences.”"
"A judge said “forced deportation from Russia [is] the only possible way to achieve the goals of administrative punishment.” In remarks also attributed to the judge, the ruling referenced “family values”, stating: “Family, motherhood, and childhood, in their traditional, ancestral understanding, represent the values that ensure the continuous succession of generations”."
A man in Russia was ordered to be deported after authorities treated his positive online review of a leather miniskirt as LGBTQ+ “propaganda.” He posted the review on Wildberries in September 2025, stating that the skirt hid flaws in his figure and that he was a guy, and the review included photographs. In April 2026, anti-extremism authorities reportedly identified the post, prepared an inspection report with screenshots and a video recording, and submitted it to court. A Tula court attributed to the ruling said the man disseminated information aimed at forming non-traditional sexual attitudes through photos showing him dressed in women’s clothing. The judge ordered administrative arrest followed by forced administrative deportation, citing “family values” and the continuity of generations.
