Controversial 'Nude Illusion' Theme at Outrageous Russian Celebrity Party

The party, hosted by popular Instagram influencer Anastasia Ivleeva, featured prominent Russian celebrities wearing flesh-colored mesh and lingerie.

The backlash reflects Russia's shift towards a closed-off, conservative society under President Vladimir Putin, who has promoted "traditional values" and tightened relations with the Russian Orthodox Church.
