The Supreme Court of Dagestan approved the sentence to local resident Makhmud Ibadulaev - two years and two months in prison. He was found guilty of participating in the activities of an extremist organization called “Citizens of the USSR” (Part 2 of Article 282.2 of the Criminal Code).
According to investigators, for three years Ibadulaev called for refusal to pay taxes and housing and utility bills, from fulfilling 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.
