Operation "Moderation"

The founder of the Free Ingria community on the STRTOSTO on the VKontakte social network, Artem Chebotarev, was released on the subscription of a lower -off wizard. He himself informed Rosbalt himself about this.

On the eve of St. Petersburg, FSB officers detained Chebotarev . A criminal case has been instituted against him under part 1 of Article 282 of the Criminal Code (excitement of hatred and enmity, humiliation of human dignity). The press service of the regional department of the Investigative Committee said that Chebotarev was “suspected that on February 7, 2016 in the apartment located in the Kalininsky district he placed information aimed at stimulating hatred and enmity, as well as to humiliate dignity to the social group of persons,” in the VKontakte social network.

On the operational shooting, it is clear how the FSB officers in masks and body armor, who rushed into the apartment, are hung on the floor and put handcuffs on it, although he does not resist. Then a person who introduced himself as an investigator tells Chebotarev that a criminal case has been instituted against him for the commentary of the “extremist content” in the “Russian -speaking Bandera” group.

A search was carried out in Chebotarev’s apartment.

On March 18, the head of the department of the St. Petersburg prosecutor’s office for the legislation of the state security bodies and the implementation of the legislation on counteracting extremism Sergei Zhukovsky said that one of his lives can be spoiled by one post on the social network.

"Every citizen today must understand that with one inaccurate action, some kind of radical post, he can ruin his whole life. Living with the stigma" extremist "or" terrorist "is a negligent prospect. There are a lot of consequences and in terms of a negative attitude in society," the prosecutor said. At the same time, according to him, in recent years, "a small number of violators of the law" attracted criminal liability for extremism in recent years. Last year, there were less than 20 such cases in the city. Zhukovsky emphasized that most extremist crimes are now being committed on the Internet, and not on the street.
