On April 19, 2016, the poet Nikolai Bogolyubov appealed against the verdict handed down by the Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow on April 18. Recall that Bogolyubov was found guilty under Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (inciting hatred or enmity) and Part 1 of Article 280 of the Criminal Code (public calls for extremist activities) and sentenced to a year of corrective labor with withholding 10% of earnings, as well as a fine of 200 thousand rubles.

The poet's defender noted that she had sent a brief complaint, since the verdict had not yet been made. "I ask you to cancel the guilty verdict and issue an acquittal. The conclusions of the Zamoskvoretsky court are illegal," the lawyer said.
