After receiving his prison sentence, Vacio issued a public apology in a recorded video.

"I apologise for offending the feelings of other people and being a participant in such a terrible video at such a difficult time for our country [due to the war]."

It comes as a humiliated Putin ordered a crackdown on the debauched party.

X-rated pictures and videos of a lurid two-day party held in club Mutabor were personally inspected by the disapproving dictator, who demanded retribution. 

Putin’s fury evidently triggered a major tax probe against party host Nastya Ivleeva, 32, who could be forced to pay £1.1 million in arrears and face up to five years in jail. 

At the event she had boasted that she wore £200,000 [23 million roubles] diamonds and emeralds on her “skinny” backside - but now she faces two separate criminal cases, reports revealed. 

In a teary and emotional video, the influencer, TV presenter, socialite and ex-editor of Playboy Russia made her second apology in as many days after being faced with Putin’s wrath. 

She confessed she had “flown off the handle” by organising the “almost naked” glitteratski party in wartime when hundreds of thousands of Russians have sacrificed their lives or limbs for Putin’s debilitating war. 

She made clear it felt as if Putin was forcing her to undergo “public execution”.

“Whoever was hurt by this [party], no-one deserves it,” she confessed. 

“They say Russia can forgive.

“If that's true, I'd really like to ask you, the people, for a second chance.

“And if it's not, then public execution has never been cancelled…

“Which is probably already happening now, but I will not dodge [my punishment] and I am ready for any outcome.”

Even Putin's celebrity "goddaughter" Ksenia Sobchak, 42 - a major TV personality, presidential candidate and ex-Playboy model - was forced to make a humbling video apology for her presence at the hedonistic high society jamboree. 

Sobchak had earlier rejected criticism of the semi-naked party she attended which outraged Russian troops.

She hit back saying: "Maybe it was a bad party in your opinion but we wanted glamour and it turned out the way it did.

"Maybe you don't like to look at it all, but, sorry, where and when grown-ups go with a bare bum is their own business. 

"The world isn't fair - it always has been this way, is and always will be. 

"Somewhere people are being killed, somewhere children are starving, and somewhere else [people are] drinking champagne at the same time. 

"No mourning can last forever."

Russian war fanatics were left enraged over the sordid, near-naked party staged in the capital as troops die in Ukraine war.

Critics compared the high-profile gathering to Sodom and Gomorrah, claiming the antics of the wealthy stars are an insult to those dying on the frontline for the Kremlin's illegal war against Ukraine.

Public figure Yuri Podolyaka said: "Our soldiers at the front are clearly not fighting for this. Not for this Russia."

Poet  Anna Revyakina slammed the reprobate party saying: "This is either Sodom or Gomorrah, or both cities at the same time. 

"I just can’t believe that this is all really happening." It’s happening right now, right at this time."

Pro-war Two majors Telegram channel told the wealthy and prominent participants: “You are just scum, you will burn in hell.”

Such outlets have long raged over the way “beau monde'' Moscow relentlessly parties while hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers - are killed or maimed in a war triggered by dictator Putin.
