A Z-activist from Gelendzhik was charged with discrediting the army for criticizing Apti Alaudinov.

The Gelendzhik City Court has received an administrative case against Oksana Kobeleva, who criticized Akhmat special forces commander Apti Alaudinov on her channel "Okhranota v vatniki."

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" reported, a Belgorod court fined local resident Irina Maleeva, who called herself a military volunteer, for a comment criticizing the Akhmat unit. The defendant's claimed status as a military volunteer highlighted the heterogeneity of the Z-bloggers community.

The Gelendzhik City Court will hear the administrative case against Oksana Kobeleva, a resident of the village of Kabardinka, accused of discrediting the Russian army. The case materials were received by the court today; a hearing date has not yet been set, according to court records.

The case file was brought to the attention of Z-blogger Vladimir Romanov, who confronted Kobeleva after her criticism of Akhmat special forces commander Apti Alaudinov. He reacted to the administrative protocol against Kobeleva with undisguised glee.

“A natural development, but far from the end. The most interesting is yet to come,” he wrote on his channel, Romanov Light.

Oksana Kobeleva, author of the Z-channel “Security in a Vatnik,” was detained along with her husband by Center E officers on November 5, according to Z-channel "Veteran's Notes." Kobeleva previously criticized the commander of the Chechen special forces unit "Akhmat," Apti Alaudinov, after which part of the Z-community turned against her, ASTRA* notes.

"The same Kobeleva who recently shouted, 'We are not ashamed to be Russian! We are proud to be security forces!' The pretext appears to have been sacrilege: she dared to criticize General "Akhmat," Apti Alaudinov, a Kremlin favorite. And just a couple of days ago, she menacingly called for "standing shoulder to shoulder with the Ministry of Defense against foreign agents," writes the Telegram channel OmTV.

Apti Alaudinov himself did not directly comment on Oksana Kobeleva's claims against him, but on November 5, he reposted several publications about her from other Z-channels on his Telegram channel, including a report about Kobeleva and her husband's detention by Center E officers. In this publication, the "Veteran's Notes" channel claims that Kobeleva is "a former Navalny supporter who donated to the extremist Navalny and spoke negatively about the Russian president."
