Prudish Putin BANS annual Russian sex doll race amid brutal Stalinist clampdown on ‘debauchery’

A PRUDISH Vladimir Putin has axed a major annual Russian sex doll race as the Kremlin looks to crackdown on distracting debauchery.

The hugely competitive event, dubbed the Bubble Baba Challenge, sees passionate Russians swim through fast-flowing rapids in Leningrad with inflatable sex dolls helping them stay afloat.

Last year, a whopping 471 people took part in the bizarre competition but Putin has now banned it altogether due to its "negative" global reaction.

The sex doll swim is the latest victim of the dictator’s move towards a more traditional Stalinist-style Russia after his two decades in power.

Putin has tried to get rid of the freaky competition in the past but organisers have managed to keep it afloat.

Pro-Putin MP Vitaly Milonov was quick to back up the dictator's decision as said anyone with a sex doll should be dumped into an "asylum" or eaten by piranhas.

Milonov said: “I sincerely wish that during the rafting on these dolls, piranhas would appear in the rivers to exact revenge on these lunatics.”

He also said the sex doll rafting was “an insane performance that had to be stopped because it is offensive to everyone".

One of the MPs most bizarre statements saw him call on the Russian army to launch the leftover sex toys from the annual event onto Ukrainian troops on the frontlines.

“Let these rubber sex toys knock them on the head,” he exclaimed.

Milonov's strange rant also saw him demand that all sex shops were shut down in the country.

As he labelled any "normal man" an "idiot" for wanting to buy a sex toy or "take it in his hands".

An upset local was left disappointed by Putin's ban saying the race was always "a highlight of the summer".

Founder Dmitry Bulavinov said the Bubble Baba Challenge started "as a joke at a party where the men got drunk and the women didn't show up”.

The organisers traditionally bought sex dolls in bulk ahead of the event and then rented them out to those taking part.

In recent years, however, people have started to just bring their own along.

VLAD'S DEBAUCHERY CRACKDOWN

Putin has continued to exercise his power and control over Russian citizens by cracking the whip on lewd and raunchy behaviour.

One of the biggest clean-up operations saw Putin's men hunt down Ukrainian OnlyFans star Lolita Bogdanova after she recorded herself flashing in Moscow's Red Square.

Despite the video being over three years old, the despot decided it warranted placing Lolita on the Kremlin’s international wanted list.

Lolita later apologised for offending religious believers but said the footage was uploaded by someone else years after she did the act.

Russian streamer Polina Murugina, 24, also made a grave mistake when posing naked next to a church in Russia and uploading the photo to social media.

The influencer was threatened with jail for "insulting the religious feelings of believers" and faced a fine of up to £3,000 for violating the new indecency law.

Polina, who is tattooed from tip to toe, posed naked outside the Church of Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Moscow.

The strict clampdown on topless pictures came as a surprise to many with the tyrant frequently posing topless himself as he flexes his impressive but steroid-infused physique.

Alena Agafonova, 23, also landed herself in hot water after she posted a video beneath The Motherland Calls monument in Volgograd, southwest Russia.

After uploading a video of her tickling the famous war statue's right breast to Instagram she went into hiding in Sri Lanka.

She was also put on Russia’s wanted list following the incident and swiftly detained the moment she stepped foot inside the Russian border.

Footage showed Alena handcuffed as she issued a humbling apology.

As Maxim Tesli, frontman of Russia's Puppies band, was seen wearing just a sock on his manhood while performing in a club gig in St Petersburg earlier this year.

The sock eventually fell during his performance - leaving the post-punk singer completely naked.

He was apparently supporting rapper Vacio who also attended an elite Russian sordid bash wearing just a sock on his manhood.

Influencer couple Ruslan Bobiev, from Tajikistan, and his girlfriend Anastasia Chistova were then sentenced to 10 months in October 2021 after staging an X-rated photoshoot in Moscow.

The pair caused outrage after a photo appeared with Anastasia wearing a police jacket and simulating a sex act as she crouched in front of Ruslev close to St Basil’s Cathedral.

They were later charged with “insulting religious feelings" and became the first people to receive a prison sentence for such a crime.

It isn't only sexual acts Putin is trying to boot out of Russia.

As influencers Vlada Alchaeva, 24, and her friend Vika, 19 were detained by cops for "promoting homosexuality" by sharing a kiss.

The pair filmed their quick smooch and uploaded it to social media but due to Russia's strict homophobic laws, it meant they were punished for their actions.

Vlada and Vika were soon hunted down and marched to the local police station where they were forced to make a chilling apology.

They were also told they could "harm the psyche" of children who saw them kiss each other, and now face a hefty fine.
