Full wording of the charges
The comments attributed to the pensioner were posted in July and August 2023 via Odnoklassniki social networking service during a discussion about the war in Ukraine. In one of them, Gordienko calls for those responsible for the killing of civilians — including Vladimir Putin — to be punished: “ … FOR ALL THESE CRIMES THE GALLOWS IS NOT ENOUGH IT IS NOT FOR NOTHING THAT OUR PRESIDENT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A WAR CRIMINAL AND AN ARREST WARRANT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR HIM, everyone must be punished—those who gave the orders, those who carried them out, and those who SUPPORTED [them].” (spelling/capitalization preserved). In another comment, Gordienko calls those who regard the war as “liberation from Nazism” “beasts, barbarians and murderers”: “Where do you see people???? Are these people???? Those who SUPPORT A CRIMINAL WAR, THE KILLING OF THEIR NEIGHBORS, RELATIVES, LOVED ONES. … THEY CERTAINLY HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE ME, the state,? Yes! our criminal state.” (spelling/punctuation preserved).
