A criminal case was opened against a former military psychologist for supporting Chechens fighting for Ukraine

Against the former military psychologist, an officer from Moscow, Timofey Rudenko, a criminal case was opened to justify terrorism. The reason was his comments in the telegram.

According to the investigator, the defendant's words contained an excuse for the actions of members of illegal armed groups, supporters of Dzhokhar Dudayev, who were fighting in Ukraine against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Previously, Timofey Rudenko was repeatedly placed under administrative arrest on charges of petty hooliganism and his apartment was searched because of anti-war comments. According to a former military psychologist, the security forces tortured him with a stun gun and demanded a confession that he was a terrorist and was preparing terrorist attacks.

In May 2023, Rudenko was detained at the Zhukovsky airport, from where he was going to fly to Kyrgyzstan. They again used a stun gun on him and offered to “atone for his homeland” by joining the Wagner PMC.
