STATUS is a private security company in Moscow.
This was likely a high end women's shop and the saleslady at the beginning had called for assistance. Could also be a department store which has a kids department or parents with children shopping in which case this man in women's apparel is in violation of Federal law against promoting non-traditional sexual activity. Russians take protection of the family, and family values seriously. When you see a rainbow on a sign in Russia, it is a playground, a day care, an elementary school or a shop selling toys or kids clothing. That is the way the people want it and that's what they get because Russians speak up when the authorities do not do the right thing.
They went through hell in the 1990's when the USA's Harvard Communists funded and controlled the oligarchs who ran the country. Russian went through the stage of
We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it any more!
Which is what prompted Yeltsin to appoint Putin to head the Security Service, and after his success in calming down Chechnya, he gave the Presidency to Putin on New Year's day of 2000.
Putin gave people what they demanded, step by step so that movement was always forward and did not descend back to chaos. It took 5 to 6 years before most people realized that Putin's slow and steady way really was working.
Russian's look at the Trump Presidency and although they see a very different personality, they see a guy who is making very similar moves, almost as if he learned from Putin, or more likely, they both had the same teachers. After all, after the Soviet Union fell apart, Russia was flooded by CIA operatives. Not all of them were rogue blackops people. A lot were good people who wanted Russia to be a productive country because chaotic basket case countries start wars and cause all kinds of problems for their neighbors.
In Russia, you behave and don't break the law. Police can arrest you and hold you for up to 3 days before charging you, so be nice to them. There is heavy scrutiny of police behavior, so they are fair, but Russians have a different attitude to violence. Men, are men and masculinity is encouraged. Men are allowed to be violent when they are disrespected by other men, but not to extreme, because that is no longer manly. It's more like boxing rules; he knocked the guy down, that's enough. Message delivered, I showed that I am tougher than you.
Even when I met two thieves who wanted to steal my suitcase, they were polite and friendly and tried to talk me into going with them down the street somewhere away from the bus stop where there were people. They offered to share my stuff 50-50 thinking perhaps that I stole it myself. After that I always took off luggage tags as soon as I was through passport control. But then I was always traveling to small towns and less common destinations, even taking bus rides past secret nuclear towns where Russia's warheads were built/repaired. I have heard from other travelers that thieves preferred to trick them into giving their stuff rather than grabbing it.
I always pretended to not understand English even when my Russian was bad. And I imitated their stern public faces, and learned to harshly tell beggars Idi otsyuda! near a train station. Lots of fun.
