Case summary
A resident of Primorye. He was mobilised, but refused to go to fight in Ukraine due to his religious beliefs. On 15 June 2023, Reznichenko was sentenced to two and a half years in a penal colony. On 20 September, Reznichenko's son was four months old. In November 2024, the rest of the sentence was replaced by forced labour. Presumably, he was released in February 2026.
