Case summary
A resident of the Nenets Autonomous District. In January 2024, officials came to his home due to insulting the singer Shaman: Ledkov was accused of reposting a photo from the singer's music video, accompanying it with Nazi symbols. Apparently, this was the reason for drawing up a protocol under the administrative article on demonstration of Nazi symbols (Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offences). On 25 January Ledkov was fined two thousand rubles under this article. On 26 June 2024, his home was searched and he was taken in handcuffs for questioning. The next day it became known that a case was initiated against him for repeated demonstration of Nazi symbols, discrediting the Armed Forces and calling for activities against the security of the Russian Federation. On 29 May 2025, he was sentenced to five and a half years in a general regime penal colony.
