Police in Vologda have detained a local resident who was walking in the street wearing a short denim skirt, but no underwear.
A local woman informed police Thursday about the man, who was pacing up and down Leningradskaya Ulitsa.
A patrol was sent to apprehend the man, who was taken to the local police station, the Vologda region's police department said Friday.
The man, born in 1981, told police that he only had one set of clothes and that they were being washed.
Realizing that he had run out of cigarettes and alcohol, he could think of no alternative other than to put on his sister's skirt and go to the nearest store.
The police issued the man with a warning before taking him home.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
