On December 8, 2009, the Leninsky Court of Vladivostok passed a sentence in a criminal case under Part 1 of Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (inciting hatred or hostility), part 1. Art. 280 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (public calls for extremist activities) in relation to the leader of the urban movement "Union of Slavs" 42-year-old Alexander Komarov.

The court sentenced Alexander Komarov to 2 years of suspended liberty with a probationary period of 2.5 years.

In his last speech, Komarov did not admit his guilt. The prosecution is going to appeal the verdict.

Recall that the case was initiated on the fact of the appearance on the website of the "Union of Slavs" of the "Skinhead Bible" by Nikola Korolev and the article "Attack of skins in Vladivostok" and comments on the materials. In addition, Komarov distributed leaflets made by him in the building of the Trade House Vladivostok GUM, aimed at inciting national hatred.

On December 16, 2009, it became known that A. Komarov filed an appeal against the verdict.
