The programmer was sentenced to nine years on the charge of "terrorist financing", the reason was the transfer of 700 rubles to an acquaintance.
The Second Western District Military Court sentenced programmer and member of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Denis Vashchuk to nine years in prison on charges of "terrorist financing," said SChP member Eva Marcheva.
According to her, the reason was the transfer of 700 rubles to a "mentally ill Muscovite". Merkava emphasized that the court heard the case in record time and added that the verdict shocked her.
The Telegram channel Mrs. Bloody writes that four years ago Vashchuk transferred 700 rubles to his friend Denis Zhurlev. At the end of 2025, Vashchuk was arrested, and since January 2026 he has been in pre-trial detention.
According to the investigators, Zhurlev intended to spend the money to purchase a train ticket to Minsk "with the aim of subsequently traveling to Ukraine and joining banned and extremist organizations," the publication "Zahirot, News" stated.
The investigation claimed that Vashchuk knew about Zhurvalev's intentions, writes Mediazona. Vashchuk transferred 700 rubles to Zhurvalev for a ticket to Moscow, the publication writes: the defense stated that the purchased ticket was kept in the file, and from their correspondence it emerged that Vashchuk refused to pay for the trip to Ukraine.
Marcheva told Hizhar Media that Zhurlev himself was not responsible for mental illness.
