A Sverdlovsk resident was sentenced to six years in a penal colony for justifying terrorism.
The Central Military Court of Yekaterinburg has delivered a verdict against a resident of Sverdlovsk Oblast who was accused of publicly justifying terrorism.
According to the investigation, in September 2022 the accused, 52-year-old resident of Nizhniye Seregi Pavel Yakovlev* (*has been included in Rosfinmonitoring’s list of extremists and terrorists), posted an approving comment under a VKontakte post about the shooting at the Ust-Ilimsk military enlistment office (Irkutsk Oblast), writes Kommersant‑Ural.
The defendant was found guilty of publicly justifying terrorism (part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The military court sentenced him to 6 years in a strict‑regime penal colony. The prosecution sought 6.5 years, citing as an aggravating circumstance that the crime was committed by the accused during a period of partial mobilization.
During the investigation Pavel Yakovlev* partially admitted guilt, asserting that his words were misinterpreted.
The shooting at the Ust‑Ilimsk military enlistment office was carried out by local resident Ruslan Zinin* (*has been included in Rosfinmonitoring’s list of terrorists and extremists), Kommersant‑Ural reminds.
After partial mobilization was announced in the autumn of 2022, Zinin* came into the assembly hall of the local military commissariat with a sawn‑off shotgun, where a meeting with the military commissar was taking place, and, approaching him, fired three aimed shots. The man, seriously wounded, survived.
Zinin* was sentenced to 19 years in a penal colony, and his punishment was later increased to 20 years.
