Gabon midfielder Guelor Kanga has been banned for three matches by the Russian Football Union for gesturing at Spartak Moscow fans who racially abused him.
The FC Rostov player, 24, was targeted with monkey chants by Spartak fans during their Russian Premier League match in Moscow on Thursday.
He responded with what the RFU ruled to be an "insulting gesture to fans" and was also fined 50,000 rubles (£600).
Spartak have been fined for their fans "chanting insulting expressions".
They received a 70,000 rubles (£830) fine for the charge, which usually refers to swearing rather than the separate offence of racist chanting.
In September, Dynamo Moscow defender Christopher Samba was given a two-match ban in similar circumstances after Torpedo Moscow fans racially abused him.
