The video on social media became the reason for the arrest of a resident of Sochi.

The court in Adler fined and arrested a local resident for 15 days for posting a video on social media demonstrating the symbols of extremist organizations. According to law enforcement, the video also discredited the Russian army.

A 50-year-old woman posted a video on her social media page that discredited the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The video was accompanied by a song by an artist recognized as a foreign agent in Russia. Additionally, the profile of the offender contained an image with a flag and slogan that are attributes of banned extremist organizations in Russia, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Krasnodar Territory reported today.

As a result of an inspection conducted by employees of the Sochi department of the Center for Countering Extremism of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Krasnodar Territory, together with colleagues from the regional FSB, two protocols were drawn up against the woman by police officers under the article on demonstrating extremist symbols (part 1 of article 20.3 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation).

The Adler District Court of Sochi found the local resident guilty of the alleged offense and imposed a penalty of a fine of 50,000 rubles and 15 days of administrative arrest, the agency informs.

The message does not specify which organization's symbols were demonstrated or which musician's song was used in the video.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that Kurban Magomedrasulov - a native of the village of Pervomaiskoye in the Kayakent district of Dagestan, a Krasnodar agitator for the "Yabloko" party, submitted a notification on September 24 about holding a rally against election fraud in the Krasnodar mayoral elections. On September 27, it became known that after the refusal to approve the rally, Magomedrasulov was detained near the city hall, and six administrative protocols were drawn up against him.

On September 28, a Telegram channel associated with law enforcement published a video of 19-year-old Kurban Magomedrasulov apologizing for discrediting the army and using obscene language. Later, the video was posted by "Living Kuban," calling Magomedrasulov a "provocateur." Magomedrasulov agreed to appear in a video with "repentance" in order to have the opportunity to leave the police station.

In October, a court in Krasnodar twice found Dagestani native Kurban Magomedrasulov guilty under the administrative article for insulting the authorities, fining him 30,000 rubles each time.
