With more than 100 passengers on board, a captain changed course to show solidarity with Artyom Djuba. A video of the national footballer’s masturbation has been provoking a wide debate in Russia for weeks.
After a risky flight maneuver with a passenger plane, the deputy chief of the Russian low-cost airline Pobeda was dismissed and the CEO alerted. During an unauthorized maneuver with the aircraft with 100 passengers on board, the airline pilots chose a route depicting a penis symbol. The supervisory board has now drawn the consequences, the Moscow newspaper “RBK” reported on Wednesday in three pages. The dangerous deviation from the travel route occurred on a November 11 flight from Moscow to Yekaterinburg, he said.
According to the report, the pilots wanted the maneuver to be understood as an act of solidarity for Russian footballer Artyom Djuba. As captain of the national team, Djuba was banned from the games in November after an intimate video showing him masturbating drew widespread attention online. Russian state television also showed excerpts from the clip.
The Zenit St. Petersburg footballer publicly admitted mistakes in a video message. In his club he had to give up the bracelet for a while, but he kept playing. The national team wants to decide its return in spring. “We gave Djuba the opportunity to spend time with his family,” said national coach Vladislav Cherchessov. “Sbornaja’s next games are in March; everyone may see the situation differently. No one is fired. We will see what is in spring, “said the coach.
The case has sparked wide public debate in Russia, including on talk shows about masturbation. Many celebrities from show business spoke up and described this as normal. Even a cleric from the ultra-conservative Russian Orthodox Church publicly showed sympathy for “human need.”
