Dmitry Khrustalev, a television presenter and comedian, was removed from a flight from Kaliningrad to Moscow on July 28 due to a drunken disturbance. Law enforcement agencies confirmed that Khrustalev was detained and an administrative report was filed against him.

The incident occurred because Khrustalev was allegedly drunk, using obscene language, and insulting passengers.

Eyewitnesses reported that the problems began even before boarding, as he loudly expressed dissatisfaction at the check-in desk. Passengers stated that he staggered onto the plane and began insulting flight attendants when they requested his boarding pass.

Ultimately, the plane departed without Khrustalev on board.
