Full wording of the charges
According to the investigation, during the year 2021, P.A. Uskov, being in his home located in the Sovetsky district of Novosibirsk, using a personal computer (laptop) with access to the information and telecommunications network "Internet", having familiarised himself with the content of an electronic message received at the e-mail address used by him, watched a video under the title "We continue and we need your help", placed in the profile of this account for review by an unlimited number of people. After viewing the video, realising that the activities of the non-profit organisation "Anti-Corruption Foundation"* were extremist and that providing money to the organisation was prohibited by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation under threat of punishment, he went to the page of an automated service on the Internet used to collect money for the organisation from the territory of the Russian Federation. With the help of this service, during the specified period, P.A. Uskov provided the non-profit organisation with funds in the amount of 300 rubles monthly, which were automatically transferred from his account opened in a Russian bank and used with a bank card to accounts in credit organisations in the United States of America and used by the non-profit organisation. As a result of his actions, Uskov P.A. provided the non-profit organisation "Anti-Corruption Foundation" with funds in the amount of RUB 2,100, transferred in equal instalments from his account for the period from August 2021 to February 2022.
