Muntyan Pavel Andreevich

n the middle of October 2023, it became known that the Investigative Committee of Russia had opened a criminal case on "fakes" about the Russian army against an animator, the creator of the animated web series Mr. Freeman, Pavel Muntian. The reason for the criminal case was a post about the killings of civilians in Bucha, published in the telegram channel of the animator in April 2022. The focus was on men aged 18-60. So that civilians do not take the side of defending Ukraine. The "peacekeepers" simply shot at least 280 civilians. Special operation, such a special operation. Denazification is in full swing, the post said. In December, the Ministry of Internal Affairs put Pavel Muntian on the wanted list. The animator himself has been living in Cyprus since 2014. On February 26, 2024, the Khoroshevsky District Court of Moscow chose a measure of restraint for Muntian in the form of detention in absentia. On September 6, 2024, the Khoroshevsky District Court of Moscow found Pavel Muntian guilty and sentenced him in absentia to 8 years in a general regime correctional colony. The court also deprived Muntian of the right to administer websites on the "Internet" for 3 years, with the imprisonment to be served in a general regime correctional colony. October 30, 2024, the Moscow City Court upheld the sentence.
