A Russian court has jailed three women for performing a twerking dance in front of a World War Two memorial.

The court in Novorossiysk gave two of the dancers 10 days in jail each, a third 15 days and two others received fines on charges of petty hooliganism.

Prosecutors had said their "erotic and sexual twerk dance" was disrespectful to historic memory and unacceptable.

Earlier this month, Russian officials closed a dance school after a similar dance video emerged on the internet.

The latest incident involves six dancers - one of them a minor who was not convicted - who had posted a video on YouTube.

"This incident of disrespect for the memory of war history is unacceptable and any attempts to desecrate sites of military glory will be stopped immediately," prosecutors said.



The sentences come as Russia prepares to mark the 70th anniversary of the World War Two victory.

They also follow the incident early in April when a video clip from the Orenburg dance school on YouTube was viewed millions of times.

The video clip, entitled Winnie the Pooh and the Bees, showed a group of teenage girls dancing on stage in striped leotards, long socks and mini-skirts,

They perform hip-thrusting moves characteristic of twerking.

A committee is investigating whether the performance amounts to negligence or even "debauched action", which is punishable by a range of sanctions from community service to three years behind bars.

To be honest that's exactly the type of stuff that I would want going on at my memorial.

I agree with the Russians. There is a time and place for every thing. Remember the American taking a photo at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier acting like she was screaming? Same thing.

Give Russia back to the Norsemen.  The only time Russia had a halfway competent government was when it was ruled by Vikings.

If they care so much about their memorial being respected, they could at least maintain the thing.  Whole area looks like shit.

If a group of girls decided to dance in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, I'd be a little peeved.

I'm assuming that was the monument behind the girls, and not some old derelict building? And what happened to the video crew? Did they get punished?

That was a dance routine, not a twerking video. Disappoint.

Gotta give 'em credit.

The Russkies always include at least one Fatty in their videos.

no, they died so the buttheads in the kremlin could leisurely enjoy torturing and starving the populace. if you didn't know, squads of NKVD (secret police) would machine their own troops if they tried to surrender to the Germans.

My immediate reaction as well.  One of the others is looking a bit Babushka doll shaped as well but Shamuski has her looking like Flipperin.
