A Moscow court today dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Russian TV presenter Anastasia Ivleeva seeking $11 million in non-pecuniary damages for hosting a party where guests were encouraged to wear next to nothing.
The lawsuit against Ivleeva is one of the elements of the scandal that broke out after a party in a Moscow nightclub, organized last month: a well-known rapper, whose only "clothes" were socks on the genital organ and feet, was sent to prison.

The Moscow court rejected the collective action for procedural reasons - it declared itself incompetent, because, as it said, it found no evidence that Ivleeva lived in the area under its jurisdiction.
It is not known whether the group of prosecutors will try to sue Ivlejeva in another court.
The lawsuit demanded that the funds from the collected compensation be paid to the benefit of Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine.
The club where Ivlejeva hosted the party was banned today, also by a court decision, due to an alleged violation of sanitary regulations.
The public condemnation of the party reflects growing conservative sentiment in Russia after President Vladimir Putin accused the West of undermining "traditional values" and after Moscow's war against Ukraine fueled nationalism in the country.
