‘Sex is cool, but Putin’s death better': Russian woman fined for text on tote bag

A Russian woman claimed that she was fined by the police authorities for sharing an image of a tote bag which had a text that stated ‘Sex is cool, but President Putin’s death is better.’

The woman, identified as Aleksandra, was requested to pay 30,000 rubles (approximately 25,872 Rupees) on grounds of “discrediting” the Russian military, as per a report from The New York Post. This action was taken under a provision of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

Aleksandra stated that the accusations against her were in part derived from a series of screenshots taken from her personal Instagram account. These screenshots displayed a photo of a cotton bag with blue English text reading, “Sex is cool, but President Putin’s death is better.” Furthermore, the images exhibited a bag displaying the phrase “No to war” along with other graffiti expressing dissent against Russia’s ongoing military involvement in Ukraine.
