In Chuvashia, the coordinator of Open Russia was fined for the fifth and sixth time

In the courts of Cheboksary and Tsivilsk, Anton Kravchenko, coordinator of Open Russia in Chuvashia, was fined a total of 11,000 rubles. It is reported by "Idel. Realities".

Kravchenko was found guilty of carrying out the activities of an undesirable organization (Article 20.33 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). In their decisions, the courts referred to the demonstration on May 1, when Open Russia activists unfurled a banner “Block yourself first”, as well as to the action where members of the movement “patched” potholes on the roads with portraits of “Putin’s friends”. At one of the meetings, trolley bus drivers were interrogated, who witnessed the “patching” of pits.

According to Idel. Realii”, an inspection against Kravchenko was carried out by the FSB of Chuvshia and the Center “E”. As materials for verification, law enforcement officers used publications of the publication about the shares of Open Russia.

• In total, six protocols were drawn up for the coordinator of Open Russia on cooperation with an undesirable organization. On July 10, Kravchenko was fined five thousand rubles. On June 19 and 27, Kravchenko was charged five and six thousand rubles, respectively, under the same article.
• On April 26, 2017, the Prosecutor General's Office declared undesirable a number of organizations associated with Mikhail Khodorkovsky and registered in other countries. The list includes “Open Russia” (OR Otkrytaya Rossia) and the Open Russia Civic Movement (Open Russia) public network movement registered in the UK, the Institute of Modern Russia (Institute of Modern Russia, Inc), issued in USA.
• The Russian movement "Open Russia" was not banned. Nevertheless, in December 2017, Roskomnadzor entered the website of the Open Russia media project into the register of banned sites. Access to the sites "Open Elections", "Open University" and khodorkovsky.ru was closed.
