The Konstantinovsky District Court of the Amur region fined pensioner Viktor Komlev 170 thousand rubles due to reactions on 'Odnoklassniki', reported the human rights project 'OVD-Info'*.
Komlev was found guilty of repeated 'discrediting' of the army for approving three anti-war posts posted on 'Odnoklassniki'. In May last year, the pensioner marked these posts with 'class' — in 'Odnoklassniki', this reaction adds the publication to the user's own page, effectively reposting it in the feed without additional comment.
In March 2024, the pensioner was already fined 30 thousand rubles for a similar administrative case, prompted by a post in which he called the war with Ukraine a 'slaughter' and its supporters 'inhumans'.
Previously, Komlev held the position of deputy head of the Konstantinov branch of the 'Union of Pensioners of Russia', activists wove camouflage nets and made trench candles for Russian soldiers.
On the pensioner's avatar in 'Odnoklassniki', there was an inscription 'No to war', the pensioner marked 'class' on publications where the invasion was called a 'SVOlchnaya war', as well as posts about political prisoners, particularly about pianist Pavel Kushnir, who died after a hunger strike in the Birobidzhan detention center.
