Case Description
In the city of Vuktyl, Komi Republic, at the end of October 2024, a search was conducted at the home of a 44-year-old local resident Radmila Ryabtseva. Tablets and a mobile phone were confiscated from her. A criminal case was opened against Ryabtseva for repeated "discrediting of the army. The reason for the criminal prosecution was comments under a post in the group "About Vuktyl City | News" on VKontakte: The author of the comment responded to a user named Alexander, who had participated in the invasion of Ukraine. 'You are killing children and civilians in a neighboring country and consider yourselves saviors, but you are just cleaners. And you have to live with it for the rest of your life. «It doesn't matter whether you kill with weapons or words from your couch,» he wrote. At present, the publication has been deleted. Also, the author wrote that Russian military personnel "believe so much in propaganda, where everything is turned upside down and which is hammered into your brain, that there is a feeling of a group of sectarians, victims who have fallen into some kind of devilish sect. The court chose a measure of restraint for the woman in the form of a ban on certain actions - she was prohibited from using communication means, including the Internet. Moreover, she was given an electronic bracelet, despite the fact that Ryabtseva has no travel restrictions. Earlier, Ryabtsev was brought to administrative responsibility in a case involving an administrative offense under the article on "discrediting the Russian army" — then the reason for the protocol was also a comment on VKontakte. The local Communist Party deputy Idris Taibov also wrote a denunciation against her—he was outraged that the woman had criticized his initiative to replace the first letter in the city's name with the Latin letter V. The court ordered the woman to pay 5 thousand. rubles and ordered him to apologize to the deputy. Vuktyl City Court of the Republic of Komi
