In a hard format

The Basmanny Court of Moscow sentenced the leader of the nationalist group "Format 18" 23-year-old Maxim Martsinkevich, known under the nickname Tesac, by three years in prison with a colony of general regime. According to the "newspaper" gzt.ru, he is found guilty of inciting national hatred and enmity.

“The verdict was appointed more difficult than the charge asked,” said Martsinkevich’s lawyer Alexander Vasiliev. The prosecutor's office asked for the accused three years in prison in a colony-settlement.

According to the case file, a year ago, Martsinkevich and 15 of his supporters tried to disrupt political debates in the Bilingual club. They shouted "Zig Hale!" And the slogans, which the investigation regarded as calls for murders and a violent change in the constitutional system. For example: "Let's kill the liberals who hate nationalists!" And "We still cut anti -fascists and shoot!" On July 2, Martsinkevich was arrested.
