Navalny's defense filed a complaint against the decision of the Simonovsky District Court, which on June 25 extended the probationary period of the policy for another year.

• In early June, the Federal Penitentiary Service asked the court to extend the probationary period policy in the Kirovles case for a year. The department referred to the fact that Navalny violated the procedure and conditions for serving a probationary period and was repeatedly brought to administrative responsibility. The petition was submitted to the court when the oppositionist was under administrative arrest for the May 5 rally.
• On February 8, 2017, the Leninsky District Court of Kirov sentenced Alexei Navalny and Pyotr Ofitserov to suspended sentences of five years and four years, respectively. They were accused of fraud: according to the investigation, they bought products from Kirovles at reduced prices, and then sold them at market prices. This was already the second verdict in the “Kirovles Case”, since the first one, similar, was canceled after the decision of the European Court of Human Rights. The ECHR ruled that Navalny and Ofitserov were convicted of acts that cannot be distinguished from ordinary business activities.
