Full summary

According to OVD-Info

Detained during the seizure of the Foreign Ministry reception room, on the night of 2 to 3 July 2008 in the Presnensky District Court of Moscow was sentenced under part 1 of article 19.3 ("Disobedience to a lawful order or demand of a police officer") and article 20.1 ("Petty hooliganism") of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation to 7 days of administrative arrest. Under the criminal case initiated at the same time, four participants of the action were sentenced to suspended and real terms of imprisonment. The case was considered closed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations (for crimes of minor gravity it is two years, i.e. from 2 July 2010), but after the interrogation of the participant of the action in 2008 Tatyana Kharlamova it became known that the case was reopened. On 23 May 2012 it became known that Evgeny Donets was charged with participation in the activities of the banned NBP; on 27 June he was sentenced to a fine of 45 thousand rubles.
