Nikita Zhuravel was sentenced in Chechnya to three and a half years in prison

A court in Grozny sentenced 19-year-old Nikita Zhuravel to 3.5 years in a general regime colony. He was found guilty of burning the Koran.

Earlier in court, Zhuravel said that he burned the Koran not because of certain beliefs, but for the promise of a monetary reward. This happened in May 2023 in Volgograd near the cathedral mosque.

In Grozny, a student was tried for publicly insulting the feelings of believers and hooliganism. He admitted his guilt and apologized.

At the end of September 2023, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, published a video in which his 16-year-old son Adam beats Nikita Zhuravel in a pre-trial detention center in Grozny. After this, Kadyrov Jr. was awarded many state and republican awards and titles.
