Moscow Man Gets 8 Years, Omsk Resident 3 Years for Posts Labeled False About Russian Military

The sentences stem from FSB‑sourced cases under wartime speech laws, with bans on running online platforms.

Overview

  • Basman­ny District Court in Moscow sentenced 36‑year‑old Solim Kamin to eight years in a general‑regime colony for spreading false information about the Armed Forces and for public calls against state security.
  • He was convicted under Article 207.3(2)(d) and Article 280.4(2)(v,d) of the Criminal Code and received a 4.5‑year prohibition on administering websites and online channels.
  • Investigators cited an April 2023 post about a missile strike in Uman and 11 related comments, as well as Kamin’s publication of contacts for the Ukrainian project “I Want to Live”; he pleaded not guilty and was arrested on October 7, 2024.
  • An Omsk court gave a 39‑year‑old resident three years and two months in a strict‑regime colony, imposed a 2 million‑ruble fine, ordered confiscation of the offered bribe and a high‑end phone, and barred him from administering sites for two years and ten months.
  • Prosecutors said the Omsk case was opened on materials from the FSB office attached to the 33rd Rocket Army, with the charges tied to a post dated October 6, 2023 and additional convictions for giving and preparing to give a bribe.
