Anastasia, 22, recorded the stunt while declaring that she wanted to “break free from all limitations” but was instead put in cuffs.
She is a former contestant on Russian reality TV show Dom-2 (House-2).
The programme sees contestants try to build a house and find romantic partners at the same time.
Anastasia is the fifth prominent Russian influencer to face pornography charges in Putin’s crackdown on OnlyFans and other “Western platforms”.
She was arrested after being accused of “dissemination of pornography among children” by Ekaterina Mizulina, the high-profile head of Russia’s Safe Internet League and a member of Putin’s Civic Chamber.
There were rumours that Putin and Mizulina, 41, were in a romantic relationship two years ago.
Mizulina reported Anastasia to the Interior Ministry and Investigative Committee.
She complained: “The blogger has apparently completely lost her mind and decided to stage a performance in — she went for a naked walk around the city.

“In that state she walked the streets and entered cafés. Everything was, of course, filmed on video.”
Anastasia was initially fined £38 and held for 14 days.
But just ten seconds after being freed, she was rearrested on more serious charges of “distribution, display, or public demonstration of pornography through social networks, messaging apps, or websites”.
It could see her jailed for six years, although Mizulina is demanding charges that could double the sentence.
She said: “The trash-blogger is publicly corrupting children on her platforms, constantly appearing naked in video circles and also giving schoolchildren various pieces of depraved advice.”
Mizulina – who is spearheading Putin’s crackdown – graduated from London’s School of Oriental and African Studies in 2004.
Her philosopher father Professor Mikhail Mizulin, 71, is a leading academic in Moscow, and her mother Yelena is a pro-Putin senator in the Russian parliament.
Mizulina advocates censorship on the Internet, fines and other sanctions against the media and social networks.
