Roskomnadzor in Kaliningrad summoned Oleg Kashin for a protocol over a post with anime

Oleg Kashin said on social media that the Roskomnadzor office for the Kaliningrad Region had notified him of plans to open an administrative case over “LGBT propaganda” because of a post on Telegram. The publicist was summoned in Kaliningrad to draw up a protocol on October 5.

According to the text of the notification, the reason for the case was Kashin’s July 17 post reacting to watching a clip from the anime Stranger by the Shore. The anime tells the story of a romantic relationship between two young men and the difficulties they face.

In the excerpt, the characters kiss, after which one asks the other: “Mio, will you enter me?”, and hears in response: “No, I won’t be able to handle that!”. Off to the side of the frame, Kashin’s reaction is shown: he watches the clip, then looks at the camera and nods.

After receiving the notice to appear for the protocol, Kashin commented on it with one word: “Ebanaty”. In recent years, the publicist has lived abroad.
