Case summary

He is a resident of the Tver region and a loader. At the time the criminal case was initiated, Sukhobokov was serving an administrative arrest: he was given seven days in the case of demonstrating prohibited symbols (Part 1 of Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offences). The man was found guilty of drawing a symbol of the Azov Brigade on the wooden door of a warehouse on 25 August 2022, and on 5 October 2022 – a swastika on a dirty car. On 12 October, operatives interrogated Sukhobokov in a special detention centre. The text of the interrogation report says that he is “fond of fascist ideology” and “wears fascist insignia”. At the same time, his colleagues from the company Prestige Ltd. were also questioned. “They all repeated the same thing: Alexei repeatedly expressed his Nazi views, drew swastikas, symbols of Azov fighters and once put a picture of Hitler on the desktop of his corporate computer,” writes Avtozak LIVE. The lawyer Valery Luzin told Avtozak LIVE that the witnesses in the case were under pressure. The court sentenced Sukhobokov to two and a half years in a penal colony. Presumably, Sukhobokov was released in April 2025.
