Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Yekaterinburg, with the involvement of riot police, conducted a preventive raid at the Yekaterinburg gay club Fame - in the midst of a theme party. Visitors’ documents are checked and data is copied, reports a URA.RU correspondent who is a non-random witness to the action. It is led by Deputy Chief of City Police Alexander Kashigin.
Operatives, together with dog handlers, inspect production and “game” premises. According to a participant in the raid, a member of the city Public Chamber, coordinator of the People's Control movement Dmitry Chukreev, at least unlabeled alcoholic beverages will be confiscated from the club. These are tinctures and cocktails. “Two administrative proceedings will be initiated - on alcohol and similar violations with tobacco,” Chukreev said.
He also claims that the raid was carried out “based on reports from concerned citizens” and is in no way connected with the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. On November 30, he recognized LGBT as an extremist movement and banned its activities in the country.
