- About 200 visitors to the Halloween party were forced face down on the floor and are being checked for documents

Raid during a Halloween party
Law enforcement carried out a raid at the Bizarre swinger club in Moscow on Leninskaya Sloboda, where an 18+ Halloween party was taking place at the time. This was reported by Life.ru, citing the SHOT Telegram channel. According to the channel, about 200 visitors were forced face down on the floor, after which searches and questioning began; people are being checked for involvement in LGBT* propaganda. Guests were dressed in costumes of cartoon characters and other pop-culture figures, and sex toys lay on the tables. At that moment, the organizers were promising guests a 'Sensorium' — practices involving touch and the exploration of sensuality.
Not the first raid at this club
This is not the first inspection at Bizarre: in December 2024, law enforcement also raided the club, and in May 2025 a raid took place during the 'Vicious: Milfs of Ancient Greece' party. Thus, the current sweep became the third known inspection of the venue in less than two years.
A similar case in St. Petersburg
Life.ru also recalls a recent raid at St. Petersburg's Scandal Bar: six employees of the venue — two security guards, a tequila girl, a DJ, an administrator, and a barker — received administrative protocols for drug use. In total, 17 people were sent for medical testing.
What remains unknown
Information about the raid is based on a report from the SHOT Telegram channel retold by Life.ru; the publication contains no official confirmation from the police or other agencies. The results of the inspection — protocols drawn up, detentions, or the club's closure — have not yet been reported.
