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.
