On April 25, 2024, the 1st District Military Court in a visiting session in Chita sentenced the antifascist Alexander Snezhkov to 6 years, and the antifascist Lyubov Lizunova to 3.5 years in prison. Vladislav Vishnevsky, who was involved in the same case, was sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor.
Snezhkov was found guilty under the article on vandalism motivated by political hostility because of a graffiti “Death to the regime”. Both were convicted under articles on calls to extremism and terrorism.
Snezhkov and Lizunova were detained in the autumn of 2022 in Chita on suspicion of graffiti and administration of telegram channels “75zlo” and “Shugan-25”, which published information about protests against the war in Ukraine, partisan actions and animal protection.

There are currently more than 900 people who are defendants in criminal cases initiated due to protest against the war with Ukraine.
Letter from Alexander Snezhkov’s mother:
“Good afternoon. I am the mother of Alexander Snezhkov, convicted under art. 280. part 1, art. 205. part 2, art.214 Part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and sentenced to 6 years in a penal colony. Sasha has been in jail since January 2023.
I raised Sasha alone. My son graduated from 11th grade, did not continue to study, but went to work. He played sports, music and was very good at drawing. Subsequently, he created his own band, where he performed his songs. He is acutely aware of justice. There is an appeal ahead.

I am a group 1 disabled person (I had 2 strokes). All the savings that I had were spent. I owe the lawyer 150 thousand for the appeal. I do postal parcels for my son twice a month. Sasha really needs support right now. I hope for a fair court decision.”
