Overview

• The Samara Regional Court rejected Sharlot’s appeal, leaving in force the order to transfer him from a colony‑settlement to a general‑regime penal colony.
• The appellate panel left unchanged the Central District Court of Tolyatti’s August 5 ruling authorizing the transfer.
• During the hearing, Sharlot was removed from the video link after disruptive outbursts and an unsuccessful bid to recuse a court‑appointed lawyer, and the court continued without him.
• Prosecutors told the court he had no incentives on record, was negatively characterized by the facility, and was deemed a persistent rules violator despite prior disciplinary measures.
• Sharlot is serving a 5.5‑year sentence for rehabilitation of Nazism and violating freedom of conscience; separate counts for document destruction and incitement were dropped, and he was delisted by Rosfinmonitoring in April.
