Case summary
A resident of Saint Petersburg. On May 28, 2025, at the public transport stop "Мetro Ploshchad Aleksandra Nevskogo", she filmed her blogger friend Alena Vasilyeva urinating on a passport. She then posted this video in a Telegram channel. The next day, she was detained on criminal charges of hooliganism and desecration of the Russian coat of arms. On May 30, the court placed her in custody. In October 2025, Saint Petersburg police announced that a case had also been opened against Bryntseva for distributing pornography (this charge is not considered politically motivated here).
