Charges

Full wording of the charges

According to the investigation, he found out about the beginning of war with Ukraine in the period from February 22 to February 28, 2022 and disagreed with this decision of the Russian authorities - due to his pacifist views. On April 15 of the same year, Khozyakin brought eggshells filled with red paint to the "Mayak" shopping center and threw them at the banner with Putin's image displayed there. The court decision states that he applied the paint "deliberately chaotically", "thereby imitating blood as a symbol of bloodshed and violence".
