Sochi blogger claims that her Telegram account was hacked

The Telegram channel "With Visor Open", in which the video was posted that caused the initiation of a case on discrediting the Russian Army, was hacked, the blogger, Anna Kolmagortseva, has informed. According to her story, she had promptly deleted both the video and the channel.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on October 14, a court in Sochi tried for the second time to consider the case on discrediting the Russian Army against Anna Kolmagortseva, a journalist and a blogger.

"The police were unable to provide any proofs of the offense committed by Anna Kolmagortseva; and the court gave the police another chance to present such proofs," said Sergey Kostyuk, an advocate.

Anna herself has explained that she did not remember posting this video on August 27, and that she was sick at the time of the placement thereof.

Earlier, she had already been fined for disseminating information that discredited the Russian Army. Therefore, she became more careful in her publications in social networks and could not make the above publication to her detriment, knowing that all her channels are carefully analyzed, the advocate has explained.
