A report was drawn up against a resident of the Chelyabinsk region for insulting the mayor because of a post on VKontakte.

A resident of the city of Miass, Chelyabinsk region, Dmitry Lazarev, was charged with insulting the authorities (Article 5.61 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) because of a post on VKontakte about the quality of hot water, in which he mentions Mayor Grigory Tonkikh. About this writes "Ural. MBKh Media.

Lazarev published a post with the headline "Impotence of Thin and United Russia on the example of stinking hot water."

“In Miass, two microdistricts suffer from the fact that hot water runs there with the smell of rotten eggs. This situation has been observed in the city for almost 10 years, but nothing has changed. During this time, the heads of the city promised to carry out high-quality pressure tests and replace the water supply, but the stench did not go away ... In the note, I hinted that since Tonkikh wants, but cannot, correct the situation with water, this is called impotence. I believe that this phrase is not an insult, because it refers to the powerlessness of the Thin before solving the problem, ”said the man.

The mayor of Miass, Grigory Tonkikh, filed a complaint with the prosecutor's office that the post had humiliated his honor and dignity. The department conducted a linguistic examination and sent the case to court.
