Nikolai Zhdanov, a resident of the village of Alexandrovskoye, Stavropol Territory, was fined for "discrediting the army" due to a conflict in a local hospital. This is reported by "Kavkaz. Realities".

According to the protocol published on the website of the district court, the man, while in a medical institution, publicly shouted the pro-Ukrainian slogan “Glory to Ukraine!”, and also showed a “Nazi salute”, throwing his hand up. Zhdanov did not admit guilt and insisted on dismissing the case due to the lack of corpus delicti. As evidence, the investigation used a video from the hospital.

The court found Nikolay Zhdanov guilty of committing an administrative offense under Part 1 of Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and imposed a fine, the amount of which was not specified in the decision. Recall that the maximum punishment under this article provides for a fine of 50 thousand rubles for citizens of the Russian Federation, and a repeated violation within a year threatens with criminal prosecution.
