Scandal erupts in Russia over sex parties at club used by Putin’s troops

A scandal has erupted over claims a Russian officers’ club used for funerals of high-ranking servicemen is also used to host BDSM sex parties.

The Central Military District Officers’ House in Yekaterinburg hosts funerals of high-ranking officers killed during Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine.

But leaked footage appears to show the facility is also used for BDSM parties by the so-called Blue Velvet group, which has more than 300 members.

The video shows a sex party at the military facility, with attendees allegedly wearing transparent underwear and drinking alcohol and taking drugs.

Black-and-white footage shows a number of women wearing just their underwear and a mask covering their entire heads. Some were blindfolded or had their wrists bound in front of them.

The slow-motion video shows some attendees wearing leather harnesses while another was flogged while leaning over a railing.

One source said: ‘They film all their parties and post them on their private social media channels.

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

The city’s prosecutor general’s office has received complaints following one ‘erotic party’ in the library of the House of Officers, where tickets cost between £5-£10.

Georgy Podkorytov, deputy head of the House of Officers, was forced to resign over the BDSM parties, saying: I am upset that the House of Officers was involved in the scandal and they are throwing mud at us. I was also involved in this scandal.’

‌’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 in Ukraine].

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