The members of St. Petersburg group Stoptime have been jailed a second consecutive time for their performances of anti-war songs.
As he appealed his arrest on Saturday, Stoptime drummer Vladislav Leontyev was photographed sitting between two masked police officers — one of whom was wearing a miniskirt and latex go-go boots.
The image quickly went viral, with some saying the image depicts two sides of Russia: the authoritarian state and the younger generations bravely resisting it.
Others compared it to late photographer Dmitry Markov’s iconic 2021 image of a masked security officer sitting in front of Putin’s portrait.

Are they a part of the uniform? Can a man opt for them too?
