A resident of Kabardino-Balkaria fined for anti-war comment

Baksan district court of the CBR found the local resident Zukhra Malukhov guilty of «discrediting» of the Russian army. In court, she admitted to leaving a comment on Instagram due to intense emotional anxiety.

According to the woman, her excitement was caused by another news about the death of a soldier in the war with Ukraine, which prompted her to publish an anti-war statement. Malukhova also reported that she was raising the child alone, that her husband was in prison and that the money was only enough to pay for a rented apartment. As a result, the court showed «leniency» and fined the «violator» 15 thousand rubles.
