In addition, he participated in the illegal blocking of the city of g. Sugi, s. Mala Loknya and s. of the burial mounds of the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region. 18 June 2025, the 2nd Western Military District Court found Nikolai Chovgan guilty and sentenced him to 16 years imprisonment, with the first 4 years to be served in prison and the remainder in a strict regime penal colony.
