On April 13, 2026, the day after Orthodox Easter, 27-year-old Ksenia Belousova posted a video of herself using a traditional kulich as a hookah with banana shisha, sparking outrage among believers. A Moscow court convicted her under Russia's blasphemy law for insulting religious feelings, adding 200 hours of labor to her prior three-year suspended sentence for drug possession, resulting in three years and 25 days in a penal colony. She brought her baptism certificate to court, noted her family's military service in Ukraine, and begged for a fine, but was led away in handcuffs. The case highlights rare prison terms under the law, typically resulting in fines.

A VA study of over 1 million veterans found the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine cut COVID-linked major heart events by 37.7%, with stronger 50.7% effectiveness in those over 75 and small absolute reductions like 2 fewer events per 10,000.
