For the first time about Dasha Kozyreva in the northern capital, they started talking in December 2022. Then city officials installed on Palace Square the installation of “double hearts” dedicated to the twin of St. Petersburg and Mariupol, and the 17-year-old student of school No. 358 of the Moscow region for the first time decided to express her anti-war position.
“Dasha wrote on the installation what she thought,” said Denis Garajaev, a “new” young man. “Only she does not think that she ruined her.” On the contrary, my girlfriend is sure that she decorated the composition with honest words.
After the detention on December 19, 2022, at the crime scene - on the Palace Square with a spray can, Daria, who did not deny her involvement in the act, was not charged with “discrediting the RF Armed Forces” or “fakes about the Russian army”, but “intentional damage to property” (Article 167 of Part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) - actually what she did. The decision to initiate a criminal case states that Kozyreva caused damage to 250 thousand rubles to the installation owner - the Bright City company.

As the “new” girls told, she was in December 2022 - January 2023. Several times they called for interrogations to the investigative department, but since then no investigative actions have been carried out, the case has not ended.
Law enforcement officers presented new claims to Kozyreva, already a first -year student of the medical faculty of St. Petersburg State University, on December 15, 2023.
“Dasha is a political fighter,” Denis continues, “it cannot be said that she was inactive for a year.” However, specifically in December 2023, my girlfriend did nothing bad. Nevertheless, she flew to her exactly at the end of the year. According to the tradition that our security forces love, they rummaged and found the post of Daria on March 4, 2022 on the VKontakte social network. In that text, she criticized repressive legislation.

Meanwhile, on March 4, 2022, new articles on Fakes about the Russian army and its discrediting were added to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The post of activist in the social network was ideally suited for any of the prohibitive norms. The police accused Kozyrev under an administrative article on the “discrediting of the RF Armed Forces”. And the court subsequently fined 30 thousand rubles. In addition, after this incident, Daria was expelled from St. Petersburg State University.
According to the mother of Daria Marina Kozyreva, the girl wanted to continue her studies further, she was interested in biology, but in another university.
“And now I don’t know what's next,” says the mother of the accused on February 27 in the corridor of the Petrograd district court. - Although a complete surprise to my daughter was gone, you live in our country, ready for everything ...
Dasha was detained on February 24 after she went to the monument to Taras Shevchenko with a poster, where she quoted the poet of the poet “Testament”:
Get out that get up
Kaidani break
I by the Evil Evil Red
The will of the sprinkle!
After standing for several minutes at the monument, the girl pasted the poster on the pedestal and left. A few hours later, she was detained, while accusing of disobedience the police (Article 19.3 of Part 1 of the Administrative Code). But the main crime that is now charged with the girl is repeated “public actions aimed at discrediting the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation” (Article 280.3 of Part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Discrediting law enforcement agencies considered the verses of Taras Shevchenko.
On the night of February 26, at the place of residence of Kozyreva, the security forces conducted a search. According to relatives, nothing special was found in the apartment. On February 27, the investigation sent materials to the court demanding to arrest Dasha for two months.

The investigator present at the meeting demanded that he be closed so as "not to disclose the materials of the preliminary investigation and state secret." The judge of the Petrogradsky district of the court Dmitry Ravrkh immediately agreed to do this. Although the investigator did not explain what exactly in the chirician case contains information about Gostine, and the lawyer cannot even imagine.
“Everything that is charged with trumpedness,” the hypothesis of the prosecution, ”the defender Rafail Polyakov commented on the“ new ”results of the meeting. - From the point of view of protection, this is not a criminal crime, but is a kind of mechanism for the manifestation of repression. It is unacceptable to pursue people for administrative offenses under a criminal article. We consider today's court decision illegal and unreasonable. In addition, it is accepted with significant violations of procedural norms. A complaint to a higher authority will be filed against this decision in the near future.
Dasha from the courtroom was taken to pre -trial detention center No. 5, where until recently, Yegor Balazyukin was contained and is still Alexander Skochilenko.
