Case summary
A resident of the village of Podgorodnyaya Pokrovka in the Orenburg region. In May 2025, a criminal case was brought against him for allegedly financing extremist activities through donations to the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK).
In a press release, the Orenburg District Court’s press service stated that “despite his mature age and the fact that he has two minor children, who should be raised in the spirit of love for the Motherland and shown a personal example of responsible behaviour and civic awareness, the man succumbed to blatant enemy propaganda.”
According to investigators, between September 2021 and February 2022, he made six donations of 300 roubles each to the FBK.
On 22 July 2025, the court fined him 200,000 roubles.
Others charged under Article 282.3 part 1, Russian Criminal Code
