Case summary
Resident of Arkhangelsk, supporter of "citizens of the USSR". In autumn 2025 (no later than 20 October) he was detained on the case of desecration of the symbol of military glory because of a picture with a swastika placed on top of the St. George ribbon.
It is probably about Musorin's Vkontakte publication dated 8 May 2024 - he posted a picture with a text criticising the use of the St. George's ribbon as a symbol of Victory Day. The picture itself shows a St. George's ribbon, a swastika and text claiming that "the ribbon was invented by Joseph Goebbels" and was used to reward Nazis.
On 20 February 2026, the court sentenced him to a year and three months in a penal colony.
Others charged under Article 354.1 part 4, Russian Criminal Code
