Panarin would have been 19 at the time. Who cares if the girl was 18?
It's almost like "adult man beats up similarly aged adult woman" doesn't have any shock value in Russia, so they had to clarify her age to make people think it was somehow slightly worse? Is a guy beating up a woman not bad enough?
At that point why not go all the way and make her underage in the story? Russia is weird.

Maybe because of how it would play in America.
This is exactly what Putin loves to do. And Panarin hasn’t been shy about criticizing Vlad in the past.
