A pair of Russian female influencers who shared a passionate kiss and posted it on social media have been forced to apologize and say it was all a joke after authorities questioned them for displaying “lesbian” love that could harm children.
Vlada Alchaeva, 24, posted a video to both her TikTok and Instagram accounts with her friend Vika, 19, as the two shared a romantic dinner inside a pizzeria in Krasnodar, a city in southwestern Russia near the Black Sea.
The friends’ date night included flowers, holding hands and a proposal before a long, dramatic kiss, according to the US Sun, citing video from media company East2West.
Alchaeva has posted the “scandalous” video to both her TikTok and Instagram accounts, even though Instagram is already banned in Russia.
Although she had labeled the kiss as “a joke, just for a bit of a laugh” the video reached an international audience, attracting the attention of Russian police, who quickly arrested the two women in the video and took them down to the station for “serious questioning.”

One of the questions the police asked the woman was: “Do you understand that your video can be watched by minors and that the French kiss you did may have endangered their souls?”
Vika replied saying she didn’t know the viewership the video would reach.
“I don’t think it can affect anyone. I didn’t think about it. I do not know.”

“No no no! It was just a joke. I’m so sorry, I’m sorry,” replied the teenager when asked if he often kissed other women.
“We started filming when we were kissing and I proposed to her which we really regret and will never do again,” she said.
As the police continue to question the two women, they begin to understand the kind of trouble they could be in.

“I am only now beginning to realize what we have done. And I understand that we shouldn’t have done that,” Vika reportedly said.
After she was released from interrogation, Alchaeva reportedly spoke to a Russian journalist and explained her sexual orientation.
“I will never trade [male genitals] for [female genitals]I like men.”

“I do not support any prohibited movement. For some reason, people think [the proposal in the video] is real. He and I are friends,” Alchaeva told reporters according to the US Sun.
Although the women seemingly escaped any jail time for the “prank,” they did not escape punishment, as Alchaeva was fined $2,210, while Vika was handed a lesser $1,105 for her role in the French kiss.
Under Putin’s rule, Russia has effectively banned the LGBTQ community, following several different laws and the country’s highest court banning all activism in November.

Following the “landmark decision”, police are targeting gay clubs, nightclubs, men’s saunas and other places to enforce the new law against the movement, which the court deems has shown “signs and manifestations of an extremist nature” including “social incitement and religious discord.”
Putin has also banned same-sex marriage in the country, a provision included in the 2020 government reforms that extend Putin’s presidency by two terms.
