The Leninsky Court of Krasnodar fined Dmitry Kozmin, a resident of Adygeya, 142 euros for participating in an anti-war action. In court, the accused stated that he did not participate in the public event, and the report on it was drawn up a month later, which is a gross procedural violation. But the judge, on the basis of the police protocol and reports, found him guilty. She deemed the violation of document preparation deadlines insignificant.

Rostov activist Svetlana Karpenko held a one-person picket with a poster “make love not war” and was detained by police officers. The security forces charge the activist with "discrediting" the use of the armed forces and disobeying the legitimate demands of law enforcement officials. At the moment, she remains in the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In Gelendzhik, Krasnodar Territory, Vadim Kharchenko was brought to administrative responsibility for "discrediting," an administrative protocol was drawn up against him and the case was transferred to the city court.

In North Ossetia, a 48-year-old administrator of a news public on a social network was fined 426 euros for posting a "publication compromising the Russian military," the press service of the republican head office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reports. 

A similar fine will be paid by a resident of Pyatigorsk in the Stavropol Territory, who "shouted a defamatory slogan" on the street. The city court found the activist guilty, according to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Stavropol Territory.

Marina Agarkova, media relations specialist at the Kamyshinsky Intermunicipal Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Rostov Region, during a preventive conversation with schoolchildren, said that an 11-year-old resident of Kamyshin, who disseminated "defamatory" information on social networks, was registered by the police, local media reported.

An administrative protocol on a "discrediting" article was drawn up against the coordinator of the public movement "Civil Initiative" Vladimir Atamanchuk. The protocol was supposed to be considered today by the Central District Court of Sochi, but the meeting was postponed. 

Residents of the city of Volzhsky in the Volgograd region questioned the legality of the city's blue and yellow tram, whose colours resemble the colours of the Ukrainian flag. In different regions of the country, citizens are detained for clothes, badges, ribbons, and even manicures of similar colours - the security forces have no questions about the Volga tram yet.

The Rostov Regional Court refused to satisfy the appeals of Vyacheslav Makhmadiev, Zaur Savlokhov, and Atsamaz Tsagaraev convicted of participating in a mass protest in Vladikavkaz in April 2020. The February verdict of the Kirovsky District Court of Rostov came into force, despite the lawyers' statement about excessive harshness.

According to the case file, on April 20, 2020, on Svoboda Square in Vladikavkaz, the convicts used violence against the security forces. Previously unfamiliar with each other, they admitted to throwing a stone in the direction of the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian Guard, while not damaging their property. Lawyers insist that the sentence - four years in prison each - is too harsh. It has not been proven in court that the stones thrown by the arrested hit anyone.

As mitigating circumstances, the defence indicated, for example, that Savlokhov had a brother who was left without legs after a shrapnel wound during the fighting in Donetsk in 2014, and there was no one to look after him.

The State Prosecution requested that the complaints be dismissed, citing the legality of the verdict. According to the administration and law enforcement agencies, during the riots on April 20, 2020, more than seven thousand tulips and a lawn were trampled on the square, about 50 structures for vertical gardening on the "cast-iron bridge" and General Pliev Street were broken, granite slabs were damaged, and the municipal building was destroyed. The property damage amounted to almost 9247 euros. In addition, two security officials were injured by pepper spray, and protesters damaged the ammunition of the National Guard fighters (helmets, radio station, rubber sticks) worth 910 euros.

In the city of Ipatovo, Stavropol Territory, the police conducted searches at the place of residence and work of local resident Mikhail Shevchenko. 

A lawyer representing Shevchenko’s interests, in the morning, the police, with a court order, searched his house, “the security forces were looking for something in his clothes, they seized a computer and a telephone. Then a similar search was carried out at his place of work.” Throughout the day, the activist was kept in the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then a protocol was drawn up on discrediting the use of the armed forces in one of the publications on Facebook.

It also became known that the Maikop City Court in Adygea fined local activist Vladimir Teslya 392 euros because of a post on the VKontakte social network. 

Administrative cases under the "defamatory" article were also filed against Batyr Zhaboev, a resident of Kabardino-Balkaria.
