Sasha Skochilenko Was Charged In The “Fake” Case Due To The Replacement Of Price Tags In The Store With Anti-War Leaflets

The representative of the Investigative Committee in St. Petersburg, Proskuryakov, filed charges against the artist Sasha Skochilenko in the case of "fake" about the Russian army. This is reported by the support group of the activist.

The investigator believes that Skochilenko spread "fake news" about the use of the Russian Armed Forces (clause "d" part 2 of article 207.3 of the Criminal Code) "based on political hatred and enmity."

It is alleged that on March 30, the girl came to the Perekrestok store and placed at least five sheets of paper imitating commodity price tags in the places for attaching commodity price tags, with the text: “The Russian army bombed an art school in Mariupol. About 400 people hid in it from shelling”; “Russian conscripts are sent to Ukraine. The price of this war is the life of our children”; "Stop the war! In the first three days, 4,300 Russian soldiers died. Why is this silent on television? and etc.

She did this, according to the investigator, “intentionally, realizing the nature and social danger of her actions, foreseeing the inevitability of the onset of socially dangerous consequences, in order to promote her own negative assessment of the actions to use the RF Armed Forces in the course of a special military operation in Ukraine, with the actual goals of protecting Donbass from the aggression of the current Kiev authorities.

Skochilenko was arrested on 13 April. The denunciation of the girl was written by a 72-year-old pensioner. “I was extremely outraged by the slander I read, because I am very worried about the Russian soldiers in Ukraine, I watch all the news about it,” the woman said during her testimony.

In the pre-trial detention center, Skochilenko's health condition worsened due to the lack of gluten-free food, which the girl needs in connection with a confirmed diagnosis of celiac disease (genetic gluten intolerance).
