The 19-year-old model is wearing a Russian police jacket, and her blonde hair is tied up in a ponytail. She squats and holds around the hips of the 23-year-old Tiktok star. He has one hand on her head. In the picture, it looks like she is performing oral sex on him. In the background is the floodlit Vasilyevsk Cathedral on Red Square in Moscow.

When the couple posted the photo on social media, it took off. The next day, the police arrested Ruslan Bobiev (23) and his girlfriend Anastasija Chistova (19). Bobiev said he was doing it as a joke, while Chistova admitted that she had not thought about it. She just wanted more likes and followers, according to the news agency Interfax.
