The blogger and developer of computer games Nikita Sadkov left Russia and asked for political asylum in Ukraine because of the criminal case against him against extremism. He wrote about this on his FB page.
According to 31-year-old Sadkov, the basis was his post on a collective blog, where messages are automatically deleted after a while. “It was just the verse of Ilya Ehrenburg“ kill the German ”, where I replaced the word“ German ”with“ Russian ”in order to demonstrate that modern Russians are fascists,” the blogger noted.
The case regarding Sadkov under Part 1 of Article 282 (excitement of hatred or enmity) was opened on March 21. In addition, the blogger was charged with Article 329 of the Criminal Code (abuse of the state flag). On April 17, Sadkov was charged and took away from him a lower -off wizard.
"Psychiatric examination diagnosed me with sluggish schizophrenia, on the basis of my eccentric appearance (sometimes dressed as gay) and political views (named in the examination" reformal delirium ")," wrote Sadkov.
On June 1, the investigation announced Sadkov on the wanted list in connection with "the inability to establish its whereabouts." On June 14, a blogger was put on an international wanted list. On June 19, the judge of the Kuzminsky district court of Moscow Marina Danilina arrested Sadkova in absentia.
In April, lawyer Dmitry Dinze told the “faces” about the details of the Sadkov case. According to the investigation, on August 15, 2016, the blogger published in the Yaplakal community a video of an extremist nature containing calls aimed at initiating hatred and enmity in relation to Russians. " The accused himself insists that the record is playful in nature, and in addition, this publication was not made by him.
The second episode is the burning of a tricolor on Red Square, which the TFR dates from August 21 last year. On this day, a promotion report appeared on the YouTube channel of the programmer. "Today, in protest against the monstrous criminal policy of the Russian Federation and Russians, the flag of the Russian Federation will be burned," Sadkov says in the frame. “That's how Russia will burn,” he adds, shooting a burning tricolor on the video. “Once and for all.”
“A few meters from me stupid rusy cops stood, but they didn’t even try to prevent the flag burning,” Sadkov remarked in a commentary on the publication. “Although the whole of Russia was burned, no one needs a vile Russian Mordor, even the orcs themselves.”
Sadkov rejects the prosecution. “He believes that he is persecuted for beliefs, from which he is not going to renounce, and considers his actions to be true,” Dinze said. The programmer emphasizes that with his performances on the Internet he fights for freedom of speech and tries to call users to dialogue.
In the following months, reports on the Sadkov channel appeared on his other shares. Among them - the "General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation and the contents of the cat tray", "Victory! Making" United Russia "to" remove its stands "," extinguished Urina's eternal flame. "
