A taxi driver from the KBR was fined for criticizing the Russian army for informing passengers

The Elbrus District Court of Kabardino-Balkaria decided to fine Vladimir Kryachko in two administrative cases under the article on “discrediting” the Russian army. Each fine amounted to 15 thousand rubles.

A taxi driver from the city of Tyrnyauz was accused of making anti-Russian conversations. Passengers reported him. According to one of the witnesses, Kryachko said that “the military who take part in the SVO kill innocent people.” The taxi driver himself denied any guilt.

In 2023, an administrative case was already initiated against Vladimir Kryachko under this article. According to one of his clients, he said that “Putin never tells the truth, he lies all the time.” Then the security forces asked the taxi driver to “confess to at least something,” but the court ultimately decided to terminate the proceedings.
