Charges
- Article 280.3 part 1, Russian Criminal Code — Discrediting the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, government agencies, or mercenaries
Full wording of the charges
In October 2023, he was fined 30,000 rubles under the administrative article on discrediting the army (Article 20.3.3 of the Administrative Code) because of a comment on "VKontakte" under a post about a family in the village of Shilovo where three children went to war and the nephew knows that "all his uncles are heroes-defenders", with the words: "This boy doesn't understand anything, he was indoctrinated, he has been deceived from childhood. Looking at the faces of these parents and their room, this boy should run away. Soon he will know the truth, when the Final comes. I forgot to say, I want to thank the State Duma for confirming my conclusions that all participants in the SMO are war criminals, when they recently passed an "interesting" law. After the fall of the regime, all these so-called laws will automatically disappear and the boy will know the truth and will treat his father and uncles differently."
