Perm: criminal case about Putin's dummy tied to a pole
In December 2018, in Perm, a mannequin with the face of Vladimir Putin tied to a pole became the reason for initiating a criminal case on hooliganism.
On December 26, 2018, in Perm, the police opened a case under Part 2 of Art. 213 of the Criminal Code (hooliganism by a group of persons by prior agreement). The suspects are Alexander Shabarchin, Danila Vasiliev and Alexander Kotov (surname changed).
The reason for initiating the case was an installation that appeared on one of the streets of the city on November 11 of the same year. Several people "tied to an electric lighting pole a mannequin prepared in advance with transverse white and black stripes imitating the clothes of a prisoner, with the image of Vladimir Putin, as well as the inscriptions" liar "and" war criminal Pynya V.V. "" . According to law enforcement agencies, the organizers were guided by the motives of political hatred and, having carried it out, " grossly violated public order."
In January 2019, the suspects' homes were searched. Due to the fact that one of them is a minor, the case was transferred to the investigative committee.
On April 8, 2019, it became known that the linguistic examination did not find in the text of the poster on the mannequin "a negative assessment based on gender, race, language, nationality, origin, as well as belonging to any group."
We have doubts about the accusations leveled against young people, namely that tying a dummy to a pole was interpreted as hooliganism. Sources
