Judge of Magistrate’s Court No. 2 in the Zheleznodorozhny District of Yekaterinburg has sentenced Stanislav Slovikovsky, the organizer of BDSM parties. He was sentenced to 200 hours of compulsory labor under Part 1 of Article 148 of the Russian Criminal Code (insulting the feelings of believers), as reported by the publication *Mediazona*.

The basis for the charges was three photographs posted on the Telegram channel *BV XXX*, which belongs to Slovikovsky’s *Blue Velvet* project. This channel was used to announce events.

The first photo seized in the case depicts a girl wearing a wreath made of branches, interpreted as resembling a crown of thorns. The second image shows a model against a wall with beams arranged in the shape of the letter "X," which was deemed similar to a cross. The third photograph captured participants holding signs with the names of sins written on them.
