Fury in Russia over lurid BDSM sex parties held in Putin's army club normally used for funerals of high-ranking soldiers

A scandal has erupted over lurid sex parties held in an army officers' club in Russia.

The Central Military District Officers' House in Yekaterinburg is used for solemn funerals of high-ranking servicemen killed in Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine, and other military events.

There is outrage that it is also used for BDSM parties with naked revellers from the so-called Blue Velvet group with 300-plus members.

Leaked black-and-white footage showed a sex party at the military facility.

'They film all their parties and post them on their private social media channels,' said one source.

'The essence of the group is to get together, undress, drink and dance.'

Complaints have been made to the city's prosecutor-general's office after one 'erotic party' in the library of the House of Officers.

'Party guests allegedly wore transparent underwear, drank alcohol and used drugs,' said local news outlet E1.

Tickets cost between £5 and £10.

'We consider it unacceptable to hold such events in the House of Officers,' said pro-war activist Ekaterina Ipatova, coordinator of the Volunteer Company project.

'This is where they say goodbye to the soldiers who died in the special military operation [war].

'There are nightclubs for parties, but holding them in the officers' house is blasphemy.'

A Telegram channel linked to major pro-Putin TV propagandist Vladimir Solovyov complained of the 'desecration of the place where farewells are held for the military who gave their lives for their Motherland'.

Among the funerals of fallen Russian officers held at the location in Yekaterinburg was that of prominent war correspondent

Georgy Podkorytov, deputy head of the House of Officers, was forced to resign over the BDSM parties.

'I am upset that the House of Officers was involved in the scandal and they are throwing mud at us,' he said.

He admitted: 'I was also involved in this scandal.'

Sergei 'Zergulio' Kolyasnikov, 44, pro-state military blogger and Stalin-backer with 307,000 Telegram followers, said: 'I don't care what people do.

'I care WHERE.

'Farewells to our fallen soldiers are being held at the House of Officers.'

He posted: 'Sniff [cocaine] wherever you want but not in the House of Officers of the Central Military District of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation, and….during the war.'

Among the funerals of fallen Russian officers held at the location in Yekaterinburg was that of prominent war correspondent from Russia's state propaganda media Rostislav Zhuravlyov, 34.

The funeral ceremony of senior lieutenant Denis Yefanov, a volleyball coach who went to fight for Putin, was also held here, as was the farewell to Major Rishat Izatullin.
