Russian streamer who posed naked in front of church faces jail
By Adrian Zorzut

A Russian streamer who posed naked for a photo in front of a church faces jail for “insulting the religious feelings of believers”.

Polina Murugina, 24, is the latest in a string of influencers facing time behind bars for violating a new indecency law.

The streamer faces a fine of up to $4,109 or a year in jail if she’s found guilty of “insulting the religious feelings of believers”.

Polina, who’s tattooed from tip to toe, posed naked outside the Church of Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Moscow, local media reports say.

The picture, which was taken last summer, was only recently reported to police.

The influencer has yet to comment but has closed down her Instagram account where the controversial picture was posted.

It comes as the Kremlin cracks down on people sharing racy posts beside churches or state buildings.

Take this news back to the mid-eighties and try to imagine what 'normal' folks would make of it? That'd make a movie.

Putin is cynically bolstering the power of the state by cosying up to another authoritarian organisation, the Orthodox Church...

Clever move, really...

I know me, she's welcome to shelter my missile in her silo.
