Case summary
Resident of Alagir (North Ossetia), employee of a boarding school. In July 2024, it became known that a case was brought against him for desecration of the Russian flag. The occasion was a post with a photo of a sign on the door of a shop, presumably in Paris - a crossed-out pig painted in the colours of the Russian flag. The post was accompanied by the following comment: "Over the last decades, the West has been talking a lot about tolerance and humanism, kneeling over the death of a dark-skinned drug addict and criminal, protecting the rights of LGBT* people, and then this.... I get it: #thisisdifferent." In the same month it became known that the decision to initiate the case was cancelled.
