The Basmanny Court of Moscow received a protocol on the commission of an administrative offense on June 4, 2021 during the presentation of the award “Prize MUZ TV 20/21. The beginning of the world. ” The reason was the appearance of pop singer Philip Kirkorov and rapper Dava on the red carpet in the company of half-naked men and men in women’s dresses, and “the performers themselves behaved like a couple in love”, which gave the audience a reason to interpret this performance as a “gay wedding”. As explained in the press service of Roskomnadzor, the dissemination of such information in the Russian Federation is prohibited among children, the display is possible only with the sign of information products “18+” at night (after 23:00 local time). According to article 6.21 of the Administrative Code the TV channel was threatened with a fine of a million rubles or a suspension of work for up to 90 days. But the department limited itself to a written warning and sent an order to the management of “MUZ-TV” demanding to eliminate the revealed violations. Izvestia got acquainted with a copy of the RKN protocol and talked with lawyers and representatives of show business.
Married again
The protocol received by the Basmanny Court was drawn up following the results of an unscheduled inspection. According to the results of the examination, the fact of gay propaganda, prohibited for children, was revealed (non-traditional sexual relations and denial of family values). The precedent for the trial was the “jokes” on the daytime air of Kirkorov, Dava and Nagiyev: the first recording was shown at one in the afternoon, the second at half past four. Roskomnadzor experts considered this a violation of the Federal Law of December 29, 2010 N 436-FZ “On the Protection of Children from Information Harmful to Their Health and Development.”
What exactly was shown on television is described in detail by the Roskomnadzor protocol.
“A black car pulls up, a young man in a pantsuit (in a green vest, black jacket and pink trousers) with long hair and makeup, painted nails gets out, in an image that is culturally in Russia inconsistent with the image of a man of traditional sexual orientation, clearly emphasizing and demonstrating traditional feminine characteristics ”.
Presenter Dmitry Nagiyev introduces him as Alexei Zhidkovsky, adding: “Lord, what a beauty.” Zhidkovsky replies that he feels great today and asks to pay attention to his makeup, “Drawing attention to the displayed image, his facial expressions and gestures are feminine”, – underlined in the protocol.
Then the presenter asks whether Zhidkovsky was beaten for a long time, to which the young man replies that he was not beaten even once, at this moment in the video they show the details of his clothes and shoes, the presenter thanks him for the “unusual” image.
On the same day, a few hours later, MUZ-TV shows another broadcast noted in the protocol: “Two men drive up in a convertible, there are bouquets of flowers on the hood of the cars, the host introduces them:“ Philip Kirkorov and Dava, ”they get out of the car. Philip Kirkorov, dressed in a white suit, Dava – in black with a bow tie, behind the car are several men with naked torsos and roses in their hands.
Then Nagiyev begins to shout “Bitter”, as the document studied by Izvestia emphasizes, “psychologically focusing the viewer’s attention on the association of the video shown with the wedding, attracting positive attention to men with significant signs of interpersonal relationships, culturally non-traditional in Russia for men among themselves. “
Confetti is flying for a couple, Kirkorov and Dava are laughing, “Show signs of intimacy, including hugging, one man puts his hand on the shoulder of another, then takes his left arm.”
Then, during a dialogue with the presenter, Kirkorov reports that he is wearing a wedding dress. Dawa says that today he will give love to everyone.
But this is not enough. Ksenia Sobchak appears in the frame and declares: “After Olga Buzova, you will start to be interested in men, this is logical and fair.” Nagiyev agrees and notes that perhaps this is some kind of injury.
Passions are fueled by Kirkorov, who says that “Love is wonderful, it has no boundaries, mood, gender, everything is in the name of love, and that’s right.”
This phrase, as emphasized in the Roskomnadzor protocol, “implicitly indicates the possibility of same-sex relationships in the presence of a high degree of emotionally positive attitude.”
And now for courage
The press service of MUZ-TV did not respond to Izvestia’s inquiry, and representatives of Philip Kirkorov did not respond to calls either. The opinions of representatives of show business about what happened were divided.
– Today there is a phenomenal phenomenon. Some artists have become mega-famous due to the challenge, mockery, buffoonery, ”the composer Ilya Reznik reminded Izvestia. – With their obscene language, moral untidiness, defiant lack of culture, lack of intimate shame, they challenge all of us – society, the nation.
According to Ilya Reznik, such jokes promote devilry, drug addiction and lead to degradation.
– What is happening at the MUZ-TV festivals is a crime, and evil should be punishable, – the composer summed up…
Producer Joseph Prigogine also agreed with the composer.
– Many bloggers and showbiz representatives took the principle “and now for courage, I’ll show you your ass!” Unfortunately, today it is very difficult to make a name for yourself with musical talent. Nothing works without hype, He told Izvestia.
The producer also recalled that there were always enough gay people at such festivals, just before they behaved more modestly and the viewer simply did not notice them.
– Just today, without outrageousness, you will remain a faceless gray mouse, but why can you show your face only in this way? – asks Iosif Prigogine.
From a sexological point of view, such content, no matter how annoying it may seem, cannot persuade minors to engage in unconventional relationships.
– The questions of sex determination are inherent in nature. It is impossible to drag anyone anywhere with a shocking public appearance… All these somersaults can attract attention, to some extent you can play with it, imitate, but such shows cannot produce any serious transformations. The child’s psyche perceives this as a performance, a joke, as a hype of artists. I do not see anything dangerous in the outrageous appearance of the stars, – said psychologist and sexologist Ilya Shabshin in an interview with Izvestia,
The expert noted that the propaganda of non-traditional relationships could be quite frank stories of people authoritative for adolescents about their sex life.
– For example, where a star in a positive way tells how much pleasure he experiences from unconventional relationships. And children perceive such a show as a hype and a race for likes. Like the wedding of Sobchak and Bogomolov in a hearse.
The specialist added that such accusations are made due to the fact that the control authorities do not have a clear understanding of what, after all, can affect adolescents and what cannot. Hence the reinsurance…
Not the dog that barks
As Lyubov Shebanova, head of the criminal and administrative law practice at Amulex.ru explained to Izvestia, “How applicable the measures of responsibility are in this situation the court must figure out.”
– On practice the opinion of the officials who drew up the protocol may not be enough to prosecute. As a rule, in cases of this category, an examination should be carried out on the subject. can this particular publication arouse interest in same-sex relationships in children, impose non-traditional attitudes on them, – the lawyer said in an interview with Izvestia.
Lyubov Shebanova also stressed that the purpose of posting the publication will also matter, and for its determination – the time and method, as well as comments, including from minors, after publication. In her opinion, “Any demonstration of same-sex unions just cannot be recognized as their propaganda, only those whose purpose is to popularize or impose such relations on minors can be recognized as illegal.”
The expert recalled that the law establishing the ban is certainly applicable to everyone, especially the media that are popular with viewers and listeners.
– To what extent the officials drew the correct conclusion, that is, whether this prohibition has been violated, only the court has to figure out. We fully admit that, in the absence of proper age restrictions for viewing, and the presence of propaganda, the TV channel can be held accountable, – suggested Lyubov Shebanova.
Yevgeny Safronov, editor-in-chief of the InterMedia news agency, agreed with the lawyer, noting that although the propaganda of non-traditional orientation in the institutions of mass culture was prohibited by law in a number of countries, it is not so easy to determine what exactly it is.
– As for the MUZ-TV award, the problem was in the age marker 16+, which did not provide for the promotion of non-traditional relationships, which was proven by experts. On the posters of the spectacular event, there was a 6+ marker, but there could be no complaints here – all the controversial moments were recorded outside the auditorium and only got into the video, ” noted Evgeny Safronov.
He suggested that one can expect the TV channel to challenge the conclusions of Roskomnadzor experts.
– An examination of this kind could well prohibit children from watching much more frivolous in the video “There are only girls in jazz” or “Hello, I am your aunt,” says Evgeny Safronov. – However, the channel chose to remain silent.
The expert explained this by the fact that Roskomnadzor limited itself to the lightest punishment – a warning and an order to eliminate the violation, not even a monetary fine was imposed.
– We can safely say that this whole story only raised the TV channel’s rating, as is often the case in such cases, – concluded Evgeny Safronov.
The expert recalled that the propaganda of non-traditional orientation in the institutions of mass culture was often prohibited in a number of countries either by law or by an authoritative public document. For example, in 1930s Germany, along with the criminal prosecution of gays, propaganda (“infection by example”) was de facto prohibited. In the United States, in accordance with clause 4 of the Hayes Code, which was not a law, but practically mandatory for the film industry, back in 1927, it was expressly prohibited to “expose (in the plot) sexual perversions”. The code was only repealed in the 1960s, but the struggle for public morality in the United States continues to this day. In particular, we can recall the scandalous Save Our Children movement in the 1970s and 80s – then it even came to a referendum.
