Full summary
В селе Грушевском Ставропольского края возбудили уголовное дело о реабилитации нацизма группой лиц в отношении четырех молодых людей от 17 до 20 лет. Поводом для преследования стало то, что задержанные якобы станцевали «лезгинку» у «Братской могилы красных партизан» и «Вечного огня», а также поели у памятника семечки, выкинув на него кожуру. Дело поступило в суд в декабре 2024 года. 2 июня 2025 года Ставропольский краевой суд вынес приговор: одному подсудимому назначили год колонии-поселения, а остальным — по полтора года колонии-поселения.
