The Reeflay case is an incident in the village of Ivanovka, Ramensky District, Moscow Oblast, during which video blogger Stanislav Reshetnyak (Reeflay) committed the manslaughter of his girlfriend Valentina "Genial" Grigorieva during a lifestream on the YouTube video hosting service. Subsequently, this case caused a public outcry, against which the blogger was brought to criminal responsibility, and his channel was blocked.

Incident
On the night of December 2, 2020, Reeflay was streaming on his YouTube channel from a rented house in Ramenskoye city district. This time with him was Valentina and their mutual friend Marina Saratovtseva. They were drinking and at some point Stanislav and Valentina quarreled.

According to the official version of the police investigation, during the quarrel Reshetnyak struck numerous blows to the head and body of the girl. Falling to the floor, the girl grabbed the wires with her hands, which cause the livestream to go offline. This did not please Reshetnyak, and he, once again beating his girlfriend, threw her out of the house in an unheated boiler room. The fact of the beating was confirmed by the bruises on the body and the testimony of another participant of the stream. Marina wanted to take Valentina, but Stanislav, according to her words, did not allowed her to do this. After that, the one and only witness has left the company.

After a several hours the blogger resumed the lifestream, informing the audience about the inappropriate behavior of Valentina. Reshetnyak frankly shared the details of what happened while cameras were down. "I gave to her a few slaps" and "did 10 times water baptism" (poured cold water) in order "to bring Valya to her senses", leaving her in the hallway in her underwear to "fresh out". After multiple requests of the subscribers, Reeflay went out to check on the girl, but found her already unconscious. The blogger dragged her to the sofa, began to sob and asked the audience to call an ambulance. However, when the paramedics arrived, it turned out that Valentina was already dead. All this time, he sat in front of the camera and drank champagne while his dead girlfriend lay on the couch, turning off the broadcast only when law enforcement officers arrived.

Subsequently, Reshetnyak was detained. During the investigation, the accused was sent to the pre-trial detention center for two months. During the expertise was revealed that the victim died before the arrival of paramedics from compression of the brain by a hematoma formed as a result of a closed craniocerebral injury caused to her. Also earlier in the blood of both Stanislav and Valentina were confirmed drug presence.

On April 27, the Ramenskoye City Court issued a verdict: Reshetnyak was found guilty under Part 4 of Article 111 ("Intentional infliction of serious harm to health, dangerous to a person's life, resulting in the death of a person by negligence)" of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. He was sentenced to 6 years in a high-security penal colony.
