Krasnodar activist accused of discrediting Russian Army
Two protocols on discrediting the Russian Army have been drawn up against Marina Melikhova, a supporter of "Citizens of the USSR"*; she was recently released from custody, where she served her term for public calls for extremist activities.
The two protocols were drawn up against Marina Melikhova under the article on discrediting the Russian Army (Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation), the "OVD-Info"** project wrote on September 19.
The reason for the protocols was in the pacifist videos that Melikhova posted on her YouTube channel.
Let us remind you that the administrative responsibility for discrediting the Russian Armed Forces was introduced on March 4, 2022, after which residents of Russia, including the Kuban (Krasnodar Territory), began to be prosecuted under this article (Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). On September 15, Ivan Danilov, a Krasnodar resident, was charged under this article.
*The organization is recognized as extremist, its activities are prohibited.
**The project has been put on the list of unregistered public associations acting as a foreign agent.
