Case Description
In the city of Pushkino in the Moscow region in June 2024, a criminal case was opened about "fakes" about the Russian army on the grounds of political hatred against 47-year-old local resident Evgenia Samokhina.

On April 17, 2025, the Pushkin City Court of the Moscow Region found Evgeniya Samokhina guilty and sentenced her to 6 years in a general regime penal colony.
