In Dagestan, two women were fined for refusing to stand during the Russian national anthem in a school line.
At the trial, the residents of Kaspiysk did not plead guilty. One of them stated that she remained seated because she felt unwell. The second one explained it by saying that she was holding a child on her lap.
The judge did not recognize these circumstances as valid reasons and fined them 2.5 thousand rubles each for violating the procedure for using state symbols.
