On April 16, the military appeal court in Vlasikha, near Moscow, approved the verdict of Felix Eliseev, the former administrator of the public network “SHE COLLAPSE” from Lipetsk, in the case of justifying terrorism on the Internet (Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code) and high treason (Article 275 of the Criminal Code). Information about this appeared in the court file.
In December 2023, Eliseev was sentenced to 14 years in prison. On April 14, it became known that the man was in pre-trial detention center No. 12 in Moscow in Zelenograd. He was transferred there to participate in a hearing on an appeal against the verdict.
Eliseev was detained in December 2022 in the case of calls for terrorism and sent to a pre-trial detention center. According to investigators, he was the administrator of the telegram channel “Kalkhoz Madness” and worked under the pseudonym Rumata Estorsky. There he allegedly published a post with anti-war content. Which one exactly is unknown. In April 2023, another case was opened against Eliseev - about justifying terrorism. The media wrote that the reason for this was the words “And the Ukrainians are great, they fucked up the oil depot in Belgorod, it’s a pity not about Moscow. It’s good to beat the aggressor on its territory; the bombing of Berlin by Soviet aircraft in August 1941 immediately comes to mind.”
In September it became known that a case of treason had been opened against Eliseev. Then the Rossiya-1 TV channel Vesti-Lipetsk reported about the “detention of a militant sponsor.” The material stated that the defendant transferred money to the crypto account of a Ukrainian citizen, which was used to purchase “uniforms and ammunition that were used by the air assault troops of the Ukrainian Armed Forces when conducting combat operations against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.” The publication also published two videos of the detainee, in one of which Eliseev’s acquaintances recognized him.
The man complained about the conditions of detention in the pre-trial detention center. Eliseev spent three and a half months in a cell with high humidity, fungus and mold on the walls, which is why he developed a cough. Then he was transferred to another cell, but no medical assistance was provided. From February 1 to February 11, 2023, the man was in a punishment cell due to a violation of internal regulations.
