SK in the Arkhangelsk region called two young children for interrogation in the case of “discrediting” in relation to their mother - Sota

The Investigative Committee in the Arkhangelsk region called a 9-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy for interrogation as witnesses in a criminal case against their mother, who is accused of “discrediting” the army (part 1 of article 280.3 of the Criminal Code). It is reported by Sota with reference to the words of the mother.

A resident of a closed city, Mirny Lidia Prudovskaya, told the publication that on July 27, the investigator handed her three summons: she as a suspect and her children as witnesses. Prudovskaya also issued a decision on a search in her apartment, but investigative actions have not yet been carried out.

The initiation of a criminal case under an article on “discrediting” against Prudovskaya became known on July 24. According to Sota, in September 2022 it was fined 35 thousand rubles under an administrative article on “discrediting” for anti -war posts in VKontakte. What was the reason for initiating a criminal case is not reported.

In 2020, a criminal case of fraud was instituted against Lydia Pruadovskaya in receiving social benefits (Article 159 of the Criminal Code). The reason was that for several months she simultaneously received unemployment benefits and for reception parenting. When Prudovskaya was informed that this was illegal, she returned the money, but the case against her was still opened.

After this story was spoke on federal channels, State Duma deputy Sergei Shargunov appealed to the Prosecutor General with a request to understand the situation. In the spring of 2021, the court found Prudovskaya guilty and fined it by 10 thousand rubles, but then during the appeal the state prosecutor refused to accuse and the persecution was terminated.
