Russian actor Smolev jailed for drunk policeman comic video

Dmitry Smolev was found guilty of bringing Russian police into disrepute and illegally wearing a police uniform.

He has been performing a major role in the current production of Dyuma at the Sovremennik Theatre.

In the 12-second clip Smolev wobbles and smokes a cigarette. A blogger posted it on the social network TikTok.

In a Russian TV interview, Smolev said the blogger had asked him to perform in the clip as a favour, and had given him the police uniform for the part. Smolev said he did not know where the clip was to appear.

Sovremennik Theatre has issued a statement, saying it “understands that ignorance of the law (which is indeed the case concerning Dmitry Smolev) does not relieve someone of responsibility”.

This is all about intimidation, the theater is shitting bricks that it will be shut down.
