As the summer days turn into summer nights, Muscovites are finding more and more creative ways to get romantic.
Some of the boldest couples have been caught on camera frolicking at a park near the Kremlin, according to Moscow’s chief architect.
“We’re seeing an unprecedented number of cases where people are having sex here at Zaryadye [Park]” chief architect Sergei Kuznetsov said Friday.
“There are videos,” he was quoted as saying by the Moskva news agency.
Kuznetsov tied the uptick in public copulation to the safety and comfort that Moscow provides visitors and residents, the agency said.
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.
