VLADIMIR Putin was left “furious” after a video was leaked online showing half-naked Russian Air Force cadets at a top military college dancing erotically to a gay Anthem dressed in bondage.
The Kremlin – known for its anti-LGBT legislation and state-sponsored homophobia as a part of its strategy to maintain power and influence was left “red-faced” over the footage, that was lapped up by the freedom-loving West.
Fifteen half-naked male cadets donned bondage gear and homoerotic dance moves wearing their pilot caps shaking their bulges to Benny Benassi’s ‘Satisfaction’.
Top brass in the Russian military called for the trainee pilots to be expelled for bringing the college into “disrepute” back in 2018, and even called for their tutors to be fired.
Petr Timofeev, head of the Institute’s disciplinary department, was left “shell-shocked” after watching the video of the student’s strip for the video.
He told The Sun: “Honestly, I so much do not want to comment on this disgusting behaviour by the cadets.”
“I am now just sitting here trying to comprehend it.”
“We are sorting this out right now, both inside and outside our Institute.”
“Of course, this is such an unpleasant thing.”
“I have worked for 20 years and it is the first ever such case in my experience.”
“It is so painful.”
“We invest so much in these people and they behave in such a way.”
Social media users in Russia reacted with fury, accusing the participants of bringing their profession into disrepute.
One critic wrote: “Shame on civil aviation!”
“They have turned their hostel into a brothel.”
“Everyone who took part must be expelled so places are vacant for those who proudly wear a pilot’s uniform.”
Another said: “Those idiots have taken places deserved by normal people.”
