The police in Ekaterinburg have arrested a dancing blogger named Nikita Savin who has gained popularity for his dance videos in public places. This is not the first time Savin has held impromptu dance performances in the metro and other crowded areas, but this time it ended with his arrest.
According to Ural Mash, a Telegram channel, Savin started dancing in a metro carriage to the rhythm of a waltz. The TikToker then continued his dance routine on the platform, attracting attention from both amused passengers and disapproving onlookers.
A video captured by Nikita and shared on the Telegram channel shows him dancing confidently through the metro carriage, accompanied by a portable speaker playing music. Some passengers can be seen smiling and even joining in the dance, while others watch with stern expressions.
While the police did release Savin with just a warning, this incident has once again drawn attention to his controversial content. The blogger, known for his dance videos in metro carriages, trains, and public spaces such as Plodinka, shopping centers, and the Yeltsin Center, has nearly 200,000 followers on a banned social media platform.
It is worth noting that Nikita Savin was previously involved in a car accident in Ekaterinburg when his SUV collided with a tram. However, it remains unclear if this incident is in any way related to his current situation.
