Volgograd student convicted to five years for fakes about Russian Army
The court has sentenced Daniil Vodolagin, a Volgograd student, to five years of freedom deprivation, finding him guilty of spreading fake news about the Russian Army.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on December 1, 2023, the Sovietsky District Court of Volgograd received a criminal case against the 21-year-old Daniil Vodolagin, accused of spreading fakes about the Russian Army in his pacifist posts placed in social networks. The human rights project "Support for Political Prisoners. Memorial" recognized him as a political prisoner.
According to investigators, the young man was guided by “motives of political and ideological hatred or enmity.”
In December 2023, Daniil's mother reported that her son had earlier been brought to administrative responsibility twice for posting prohibited symbols of Nazi Germany and insulting a certain person in social networks.
Earlier, Alexander Nozdrinov, a Kuban (Krasnodar) journalist, was sentenced to 8.5 years in colony under the same criminal article.
