Activist and artist Alexei Knedlyakovsky, arrested for 15 days for installing a wooden cross on the Bust of Dzerzhinsky in Krasnodar on the day of state security workers, was released. This was written on Twitter by his wife Lusine Dzhanyan. On December 23, the Leninsky District Court of Krasnodar found Kndlyakovsky guilty under article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (petty hooliganism).

Shortly before the new year, the co -chair of the Chelyabinsk branch of Parnassus Andrei Linev was sent under the arrest for 7 days on charges of "demonstrating Nazi symbols." Linev is confident that his political activity was the reason for the persecution. OVD-Info publishes his story.
