"Active repentance" instead of a judicial verdict

On April 27, 2010, the Frunzensky District Court of the city of Ivanovo began considering a criminal case on charges against a 17-year-old resident of Ivanovo of inciting ethnic hatred (Part 1, Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

Already at the second court session, on April 28, the case against a young man who posted racist videos on the Internet was dismissed "due to active repentance . "

The computer confiscated from him during the preliminary investigation as material evidence, the court ruled to turn into state revenue.
