Full summary

According to OVD-Info

A resident of Kaluga, a member of the anti-fascist movement. In March 2022, some local activists had their homes searched, and the garage premises where a local "Social Distancing" musician group rehearsed were also examined. It became known that a case of public justification of terrorism had been opened because of leaflets with a picture of Mikhail Zhlobitsky, who had staged a self-detonation in the building of the FSB in the Arkhangelsk region. On 18 October 2022, Stolbin was sentenced to a fine of 150,000 rubles. In November 2024, the prosecutor's office filed a statement of claim with the court to recognise the "public organisation" and rock band (which by then had already been disbanded for over two years) Social Distancing as a terrorist organisation; Stolbin was listed as one of the founders and leader.
