Tajik blogger: Deport me from Russia!

Tajik blogger Ruslan Bobiev, in an agitated voice, asked the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to deport him to his homeland. Known for his “pranks” on social media, Ruslan Bobiev posted a photo session in front of St. Basil’s Cathedral on Red Square in Moscow on September 29 on his Instagram and Facebook pages.

Meanwhile, one of his photos sparked a strong reaction from users. In it, a girl in a police jacket squats in front of him with her legs widely spread. The photo was accompanied by the caption: “The Labor Code is not Criminal, it can be violated.”

The photograph caused a stir in Russian society. In turn, the Moscow police held the Tajik prankster administratively responsible for insulting believers and offending religious feelings.

User _m777ax_ asks: “A case for insulting religious feelings? Then why, when a Russian doctor recently insulted a Tajik Muslim woman, was no case opened for insulting religious feelings? This is one of the cases of double standards among Russians!”

Another user named dilyana_khojaeva writes: “I saw the video of his apologies, it’s a very sad scene.”

User gafahbon writes: “He is to blame. If some Russian arranges such a photo session with a girl near our mosque, we will not remain silent either!”

Another user writes: “If this young Tajik is held accountable for his actions, then why is his partner in the photo, a Russian girl, not held administratively responsible?”

Tajik prankster Ruslan Bobiev apologized to the police in three different videos. “I apologize, I sincerely apologize, I will never do this again,” the blogger said, repeating this phrase several times in a video published by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow.

In the video, Bobiev also shared a bit about himself. He says that he used to work, but now he is a blogger and makes “pranks,” his Instagram channel has 100,000 subscribers, but currently, his channel is blocked.

He claims that he will delete his pranks, “because I was held administratively responsible for them.”
