Case summary
Konovalov, who was already serving a 12 years sentence in a maximum-security penal colony for a certain case, presumably in the Pskov Region, faced new charges while in custody. He was accused of "publicly justifying terrorism" after discussing the Azov battalion with fellow prisoners, and of "spreading deliberately false information about the Armed Forces" for showing clips from Ukrainian channels alongside another prisoner. As a result, Konovalov received an additional five years in a maximum-security penal colony, bringing his total sentence to seven years.
