A 17-year-old Chelyabinsk resident was arrested for posting ads for "Smart Vote," RT claims. According to the channel, the boy was detained and charged with participating in the activities of a terrorist organization - under Part 2 of Art. 205.5 CC. RT claims that the young man followed the instructions of the representatives of the anti-corruption fund. In the attached video of the investigation, the young man says that he became interested in politics and ecology, he saw a FBK video on YouTube and the service began to recommend him more such content. "There is such a bot -. "Smart vote", where recommendations are given for who to vote for so that "United Russia" loses. I transferred, received a recommendation, made flyers, uploaded flyers and now I'm sitting here. I was very scared for my life, especially when I found out what possible sentence I was facing. If I could go back, I definitely wouldn't and I would think twice about it. I repent. I am very repentant," says the detainee. According to the young man, he wanted to change the world for the better, and in the FBK videos they said that helping them would lead to "happiness", they "reassured him" and said that "all [his] actions are something good", and "everything will be fine". To the activist's question whether he thinks that FBK treats people like him as "expendable materials", the teenager replied: "Well, I'm sitting here now and I think I've been cheated. Just take it and use it. They would help me somehow if I was important to them. I ruined my destiny." He advised his friends to "seek different sources of opinions", not to take "incomprehensible people" at their word, and to live their lives. “It's really awful it would be so bad for the parents it's absolutely crazy! What will my next few years be like? How much time will they give me? How can I continue to live with what I did? says the detainee. RT writes that he faces up to 20 years in prison. Such a maximum is indeed established in Part 2 of Art. 205.
