Full wording of the charges
Comments that Morozova left in the Telegram channel “Ves Magadan” (“All of Magadan”) in 2023 led to the initiation of a case against her. One comment stated: “One day, we will all be held accountable for these bastards in power.” She also expressed willingness to pay reparations to Ukraine, “even though this will not bring the dead back to life.” The second comment described the Russian invasion as a “senseless massacre.” Additionally, it said: “And you, f****** retards, aren’t bothered by the question: why go to war at all and send people to die? And it doesn’t matter what nationality they are? Are you f****** stupid? My whole family, starting with my grandparents, served in the military, and they all shouted in unison: God forbid we see another war. You have no brains. Read history, especially about Hitler’s Nazism. Once you’ve read it, you will understand what is happening now.” In June 2022, Morozova was fined under the administrative article on discrediting the army (Part 1, Article 20.3.3 of the Administrative Code) because of a comment on Instagram that said: “I believe that everyone who SUPPORTS this disgrace called the ‘special operation’ should go and fight there. No? Then shut your mouth.”
