Polunin Dmitriy Valerevich

In the city of Anapa, Krasnodar Krai, no later than 2024, after a series of "carousel arrests, a criminal case was opened for "confidential cooperation with a foreign organization" against 48-year-old local resident Dmitry Polunin. Dmitry Polunin was first arrested on September 22, 2023. According to the protocol, he refused to show documents to the security forces and 'tried to hide' from them. The judge of the Anapa District Court of the Krasnodar Territory, Alexander Nemrodov, sentenced him to 15 days of administrative arrest under the article on "failure to comply with the requirements of a representative of authority." On October 7, 2023, on the day of his release from the temporary detention facility, the police detained him again and stated that the man "was shouting loudly, using crude obscene language, did not respond to remarks from passers-by, and tried to start a fight." "Judge Alexander Pravilov of the Anapa District Court of the Krasnodar Territory again sent Polunin under arrest for two weeks, this time under a protocol for 'petty hooliganism'. Subsequently, Polunin was transported from one city to another, and in each new settlement, the police found a reason to arrest him: on October 22, 2023, at three o'clock in the morning, Polunin was detained again and taken to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Novorossiysk. There, a falsified protocol was fabricated against him for disobeying a police officer - allegedly the man refused to undergo a medical examination for alcohol intoxication and tried to escape from the police. On the same day, the judge of the Leninsky District Court of Novorossiysk, Oksana Sporich, arrested Polunin for 15 days. On November 6, 2023, Polunin again "resisted" the police, and Judge Alexander Vasilyev of the Primorsky District Court of Novorossiysk sent the Krasnodar resident under arrest. Then followed two arrests for 15 and 10 days in Slavyansk-na-Kubani under the article on failure to comply with a police order - on November 20, 2023, the decision was made by Judge Nikolai Mironenko of the Slavyansk City Court of the Krasnodar Territory, and on December 6, 2023, by Judge of the Slavyansk City Court of the Krasnodar Territory Yulia Pelyushenko. During the consideration of the protocol on December 6, Polunin first said in court (or rather, this is first reflected in the ruling) that he does not consider himself guilty and "repents of having spoken out against the military special operation in Ukraine." 3. After this, Polunin found himself in the city of Krymsk, where on December 15, 2023, Judge Tamara Litvinenko of the Krymsk District Court of the Krasnodar Territory arrested Polunin for 15 days under the article on petty hooliganism - according to the protocol, Polunin used obscene language in a public place. Next - Tikhoretsk, where Judge Valery Osipchuk of the Tikhoretsk City Court of the Krasnodar Territory arrested Polunin for 15 days, again under the article on petty hooliganism. After serving his arrest, Polunina was taken to the village of Vyselki. On January 15, 2024, Judge Ruslan Teplukhin of the Vyseľkovsky District Court of Krasnodar Krai found Polunin guilty under the article on petty hooliganism and sentenced him to 15 days of administrative arrest. On January 30, 2024, Polunin ended up in the stanitsa of Dinskaya, where Judge Vyacheslav Pogorelov of the Dinsky District Court of the Krasnodar Territory sentenced him to 10 days of arrest." In total, Polunin spent 140 days in detention centers or police stations (ten administrative arrests) and only after that, it seems, a criminal case was formally opened against him for cooperating with a foreign organization. The court sent him to a pre-trial detention center. July 10, 2024, the Krasnodar Regional Court found Dmitry Polunin guilty. The court secretary refused to announce the verdict, citing secret data. The verdict was not appealed and entered into legal force.
