Full wording of the charges
The charges of public justification of terrorism were based on two comments: 22 October 2023: Posted in the Ukrainian Telegram channel "Palianytsia 2.0" under news regarding a Belgorod resident's public display of the Ukrainian flag: "The only thing left to do here is burn everything and everyone with napalm." 30 December 2023: Posted under a video on Ukrainian blogger Vladimir Zolkin’s channel showing an AFU rocket strike on Belgorod: "Holy [expletive]! What a celebration today! I’m going to go donate to the boys. Greetings from Khabarovsk. Glory to Ukraine." The charges of disseminating deliberately false information about the Russian Armed Forces involve the following comments: 29 December 2023: "The Russians [profanity omitted by the prosecutor] f***ed up all of Ukraine today." 24 January 2024: Under a post about the Il-76 crash involving Ukrainian prisoners of war in the Belgorod Region: "The boys were tortured to death in 'Rashka' captivity. They decided to set it up to look like a crash. Either they don't want to swap their own because they’re chickens***, because those guys will start [talking] a lot..."

Details and sources
Full 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.
