Vladislav Nikolaev

The reason for the prosecution were posts and a collage "on a social network banned in the Russian Federation" (likely, Facebook) on 4 September 2022 and 20 February 2023, "containing statements undermining the dignity, authority and trust in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation". In June 2022, in Volgograd, where Nikolaev was on holiday, he was reported under administrative articles on discrediting the army (Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) and petty hooliganism (Article 20.1 of the CAO) because of the inscription "Fuck the war" and a peace sign on the window of his personal car. The court arrested him for 24 hours. One of the posts, which became the reason for a criminal case, was devoted to punishment under administrative articles.
