Case summary
An activist of the StopHam movement, which fights against improper parking. In June 2022, Bunin and two other activists of the movement had a conflict with law enforcers over improper parking. The activists claim that the officers attacked them. On 25 June 2022, Bunin was taken into custody in a case of hooliganism and use of violence against a representative of the authorities. On 19 February 2024, he was sentenced to six years in a general regime colony. On 24 October 2024, the court of appeal cancelled the sentence and returned the case to the prosecutor's office. On 24 November 2025, Bunin was sentenced to six years' imprisonment: the judge pronounced the words "strict regime" when announcing the sentence, but this was most likely a mistake.
