Overview
- Sergey Bezrukov has filed a lawsuit in Moscow against individual entrepreneur Kristina Sobolevskaya over masks featuring his likeness sold on online marketplaces.
- He asserts his name, surname, and image were used without consent and asks the court to prohibit their distribution and award moral damages.
- The disputed listings reportedly appeared on Wildberries and Ozon as “carnival masks” and fabric masks bearing the actor’s face.
- The Khamovnichesky District Court has registered the case but has not set a hearing date, and the sought compensation amount was not disclosed.
- Sobolevskaya told RIA Novosti she received no pretrial claims, has not seen the case materials, and denies selling Bezrukov masks, while RIA reported the “Mega Toys” store registered to her offered such masks and that the Bezrukov mask was unavailable by Tuesday after being listed earlier that morning.
