Full summary
Student of Moscow State University, blogger. At the end of September 2022 he wrote that because of his Instagram stories he was contacted by FSB officers. "I want to blow up the university. Not literally, but figuratively. Who, if not students, can easily unite in the name of protest and easily ignite?" - said the publication, which aroused the interest of law enforcers. On 10 October he was summoned to the deputy dean's office, after which Gorelyshev was detained and taken to the police station. A case of vandalism was brought against him because of the inscription "No to War" on the monument to Lomonosov. According to Gorelyshev, under pressure he wrote a confession, then he was taken to the place where he left the spray paint cans and demanded to show how exactly he applied the inscription. On 23 January 2023, the court dismissed the case and ordered Gorelyshev to pay a court fine.
