Russian chefs in naked lockdown protest after coronavirus strips them of income

Moscow - Russian restaurant owners stripped of their income by the coronavirus lockdown are campaigning for their businesses to be allowed to reopen by posting pictures of themselves naked on social media.

Their demand is for authorities to allow them to start serving clients as the country gradually eases measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Employees of the Holy Place bar pose for a photo to draw attention to a crisis in the restaurant industry caused by the lockdown measures imposed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease. The banner reads: "Naked restaurants. When is the end?" Picture: HOLYPLACE68 via Reuters

"We don't want to stage a strip show or to fool around, we only want one thing - to work!" said Pavel, a chef from the Siberian city of Novosibirsk, in a post with a group picture of his colleagues wearing only masks and holding kitchenware.
