Case summary
A resident of Chita city, owner of a closed club. Originally it was called "Tochka", then changed its name to "Jackson". It was only possible to get there by calling in and passing face control. On 26 October 2024, members of the "Russian Community" movement and the creator of the "Men's State" Vladislav Pozdnyakov reported a raid on the club and the detention of everyone present in the building where "sadomites were staging their performances and orgies". A drag show was taking place there at the time of the raid, the ChTD Telegam channel reported. All those present were forced to lie face down on the floor and give their names on camera. Law enforcers have not publicly commented on the situation. The owner was placed under house arrest on charges of organising the activities of an extremist organisation. On 26 August 2025, the measure of restraint for the businesswoman was replaced by a ban on certain actions. On 23 March 2026, Zorina was sentenced to four years in a general regime colony.
