Bogomolov Nikolay Aleksandrovich

On March 19, 2024, a criminal case was opened in Kazan for calls for terrorism and public calls for extremism against a 48-year-old local resident, poet Nikolai Bogomolov. The reason for the criminal prosecution was posts on the social network "Odnoklassniki", in which, in particular, the man wrote: "THE PEOPLE OF RUSSIA - RISE UP FOR THE BASHKIRS DEATH TO THE OCCUPANTS DEATH TO PUTIN SHAYMIEV HABIROV" (punctuation and style preserved), as well as "UKRAINIANS BROTHERS cut off heads and tear off eggs to these jackals and throw them back to their stinking homeland do not take foam so that not a single gida leaves alive from the territory of Ukraine GLORY TO UKRAINE" (punctuation and style preserved)." On March 26, 2024, a search was conducted at Bogomolov's place and he was detained. Before the election of a preventive measure, the Kazan resident was placed in a temporary detention center. On March 27, 2024, the Vakhitovsky District Court of Kazan placed Bogomolov under house arrest. On April 8, 2024, a forensic psychiatric examination was conducted on the defendant in the case on an outpatient basis. Due to "an unclear clinical picture that precludes the resolution of expert questions in outpatient conditions, Bogomolov was assigned to undergo a comprehensive inpatient forensic psychological and psychiatric examination at the Republican Clinical Psychiatric Hospital named after Academician V.M. Bekhtereva. On April 19, the man's house arrest was canceled and he was placed in a hospital for 30 days. On February 17, 2025, the Central Military District Court found Nikolai Bogomolov guilty and sentenced him to 5.5 years in a general regime colony. The man was taken into custody in the courtroom. The verdict was not appealed and entered into legal force.
