A man will be tried in Dagestan for participating in the organization “Citizens of the USSR”, which does not recognize the Russian Federation

Makhachkala resident Kadi Gadzhiev was accused of participating in an extremist organization (Part 2 of Article 282.2 of the Criminal Code) called “Citizens of the USSR.” According to investigators, he was a member of the executive committee of the Makhachkala City Council of People's Deputies of the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic as part of the RSFSR/USSR, a structural division of the MOO USSR.

Previously, six people have already been convicted for participation in this organization; criminal cases against four more people are under consideration. In particular, Makhmud Ibadulaev was sentenced to two years and two months in prison. He called for refusal to pay taxes and housing and utility bills, to fulfill civil obligations, and “promoted hatred of government bodies of the Russian Federation.”

“Citizens of the USSR” is a movement that does not recognize the Russian Federation as a state. Its participants urge not to sign any documents and notify government officials of the need to relieve them from their positions.
