In Voronezh, protocols were drawn up for “discrediting the army” and petty hooliganism against a Ukrainian who tore Z-stripes from the clothes of children in a temporary detention center

Voronezh police detained a Ukrainian who was tearing off stripes with the symbols of the Wagner PMC and the Z sign from the clothes of children at a temporary accommodation center for those deported from Ukraine. This was reported by the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Voronezh Region, and Mediazona drew attention to this.

“During the monitoring of the Internet, a publication was identified about the aggressive behavior of a man in the Zheleznodorozhny district,” police said.

It is alleged that the detainee “publicly committed actions aimed at discrediting the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and also used obscene language against them.” The man was taken to police department No. 1 of Voronezh and reports were drawn up against him for “discrediting the army” (Part 1 of Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offences) and petty hooliganism (Part 1 of Article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences).

According to cards the protocol on the court's website, the man's name is Vladimir Zaklyazminsky.

On August 18, REN TV employee Dmitry Zimenkin posted a video on his VKontakte page in which a woman quarrels with a man named Vova and asks him: “Why did you take off the stripes from my child?” . In response, the man says that wearing the symbols of the Wagner PMC and the Z sign is a shame for a child. After this, the woman asks why he came to Russia if he supports Ukraine. The man does not answer, but says that he is against the war.

According to Zimenkin, the video takes place in the Oblomovo temporary accommodation center near Voronezh. There are people there who were taken from Ukraine to Russian territory, a REN TV employee clarifies.

“According to other refugees, this character openly states that he wants to go to fight for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and threatens everyone. <…> They write to me that people are already losing their nerves. No matter how they organize lynching,” writes Zimenkin.

He also attached to the post three statements from other people from the TAP, which say that the man “shouted slogans in support of Ukraine.” It is alleged that a certain Kondratieva spoke out with him in support of Ukraine. However, it is unknown whether she was detained.

According to Zimenkin, both Zaklyazminsky and Kondratyeva are from Rubezhnoye, which is currently under occupation by Russian troops.
