On February 9, the Volgodonsk District Court of the Rostov Region received a criminal case against “USSR citizen” A. N. Aleksandrov regarding participation in the activities of an extremist organization (Part 2 of Article 282.2 of the Criminal Code). This was reported by the press service of the court.
Alexandrov is under recognizance not to leave.
In September, six residents of the Rostov region also became defendants in a criminal case: Oleg Kolesov was accused of organizing the activities of the Union of Slavic Forces of Russia, and Elena and Alexander Akulinichev, Galina Moreva, Lidiya Takhmatova and Maria Kamenskaya were accused of participating in it.
- “Citizens of the USSR” is a movement uniting fighters for the restoration of the rights of citizens of the USSR. Followers of the organization believe that the Union continues to exist, and the Russian Federation is a “trading company.” Some of the participants in “Citizens of the USSR” refuse any ties with Russia as a state, for example, do not sign any documents, and notify local authorities of the need to vacate their posts.
- In August 2022, a court in Samara recognized the Citizens of the USSR movement as an extremist organization. Previously, the list of extremist organizations included the “ People's Council of Citizens of the RSFSR USSR Arkhangelsk Region ” and the “ Union of Slavic Forces of Russia ,” whose followers also denied the fact of the collapse of the USSR.
