Moscow police are looking for a man who laid it all bare on the city's metro earlier this week, LifeNews reported Tuesday.
Video footage published by the sensationalist news agency showed a completely naked man in a metro car.
The man entered the car at Borovitskaya station in downtown Moscow on Sunday evening and got off at Polyanka, the next stop on the Gray Line, LifeNews reported, citing witnesses.
“Everyone noticed him as soon as he got on. Firstly, the car was practically empty, and secondly, he was stark naked,” LifeNews cited a fellow passenger as saying.
Witnesses said the naked man appeared to be smiling at someone in the neighboring car, to whom he had presumably lost a bet, while all the other passengers acted as though nothing unusual was happening.
“When the car arrived at the next station, the naked man got off together with his fellow traveler, they burst into laughter and it was clear the man had lost a bet,” LifeNews cited a witness as saying.
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.
