Russian Lawmakers Consider Ban on Quadrobics Amid Controversy
Russian lawmakers are debating a potential ban on Quadrobics, a fitness trend involving individuals dressing as animals and moving on all fours, popularized by Japanese sprinter Kenichi Ito. The discussion was sparked by an incident where singer Mia Bojka mocked a young girl participating in the activity, leading to public outrage. Critics, including Senator Natalia Kossichina, argue that such subcultures are harmful, despite no evidence to support claims of aggression. The phenomenon is largely misunderstood by politicians, reflecting a disconnect with youth culture in Russia.
