On May 24, authorities in Kamensk-Uralsky, Sverdlovsk Oblast, along with members of the nationalist "Russian Community" group, disrupted a 1990s-themed gathering. According to TASS and PostNews, police alleged the event had LGBT elements due to the presence of drag performers.
During the operation at a rented house on Polevaya Street, attendees were reportedly made to lie face-down with their hands behind their heads. Twenty-six individuals were temporarily detained for fingerprinting and device checks before being released. The party's host faces administrative charges under Russia's "LGBT propaganda" law (Article 6.21 of the Administrative Code).
PostNews cites sources indicating potential criminal proceedings under extremism laws (Article 282.2, Part 1 of the Criminal Code), which carries a possible eight-year prison term. Investigators are reportedly considering whether to pursue this harsher charge.
