Controversial 'Nude Illusion' Theme at Outrageous Russian Celebrity Party
A raunchy celebrity party in Moscow with a "nude illusion" theme has sparked outrage among Russian politicians and conservative activists, who are calling for punishment under laws prohibiting "gay propaganda." The party, hosted by popular Instagram influencer Anastasia Ivleeva, featured prominent Russian celebrities wearing flesh-colored mesh and lingerie. Critics accused the organizers of being tone-deaf for hosting a lavish event while Russian soldiers are fighting in Ukraine. 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.
