The residents of Grozny on Monday will again gather a protest on the parole (UDO) of the former Colonel Yuri Budanov, convicted of the murder of the Chechen girl, Elsa Kungaeva, said the head of the regional youth public organization Patriot , Isa Hadzhimuradov.
“On Monday (December 29) at 11:00 in the square of journalists (in the very center of the city), a protest rally against the liberation of Budanov will again be held,” the interlocutor said.
The first protest against Udo Budanov took place in Grozny on December 25, about a thousand people were present at the rally.

He can be released after January 11.
On Friday, December 26, the chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Lebedev did not exclude that he would personally consider the complaint against Budanov, if one is filed.
