Case summary
He lived in Khabarovskii Krai. On 8 August 2024 he was detained in Vladivostok, where he had planned to get a job as a sailor. A case of public justification of terrorism was brought against him because of two aggressive comments approving the strikes on the Belgorod Region. Geraimovich was taken into custody. Later he was also accused of spreading deliberately false information about the Russian Armed Forces because of publications about strikes on Ukraine and the crash of a plane carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war, and trafficking in pornography - in his words, because of photos with "naked girls" that he sent to two friends. Geraimovych claims that the new charges appeared in the case after he asked an investigator why the card linked to the phone seized from him was being debited for purchases at Wildberries. In June 2025, the case went to the Central District Military Court because he had made the comments while living with a girlfriend in Udmurtia. On 6 March 2026, Geraimovich was sentenced to seven years in a general regime penal colony.
