Case summary

Resident of Karachay-Cherkessia and supporter of the "Citizens of the USSR" movement; was under criminal investigation for participating in the activities of an extremist community; signed a recognisance not to leave. In 2024, Bondarenko was sentenced to three and a half years of probation. Presumably, in September 2023 he was detained on suspicion of fraud (we have no grounds to consider this prosecution politically motivated).

Source: this person’s record in the OVD-Info political persecution database

Published under CC BY 3.0. The criteria for treating a person as politically persecuted belong to OVD-Info; FACTUM relays their assessment and makes none of its own.

OVD-Info has been designated an «extremist» organisation in Russia — by decision of the Russian authorities, like other independent human rights and media projects.
