Candidate Yabloko Khorzov was fined in St. Petersburg on defamation of the military On October 27, the Moscow District Court in St. Petersburg found Dmitry Khorzov, a former candidate for the State Duma and the Legislative Assembly from the Yabluko party, guilty of defaming the Russian armed forces and imposed an administrative fine on him. Fontanka reports that. The reason for drafting the protocol was a pacifist election campaign, which, as noted, is standard for Yabloko candidates. According to the case materials, a statement about signs of an offense was written by Andrey Kazanin, who lives in the electoral district of Khorzova. He found a leaflet in his mailbox, the contents of which, in his opinion, discredit the Russian army. Law enforcement officers and the court concluded that Khorezov's campaign created a negative opinion among the citizens about the decisions of the commander in chief and the actions of the armed forces. Khorzov himself did not agree with the accusations. Telegram | maximum.
