[Regnum] The Nikulinsky Court of Moscow again fined the writer Dmitry Bykov (an individual recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation) 40 thousand rubles for not identifying himself as a foreign agent on social networks, the court’s press service reported on December 21. “The court found Bykov guilty under Part 4 of Art. 19.34 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (“Production of materials and their distribution by a foreign agent using the Internet without indicating that these materials were produced or distributed by a foreign agent”) and sentenced him to a fine of 40,000 rubles,” the press service told TASS . As Regnum reported , Bykov was included by the Ministry of Justice in the register of foreign agents on July 29, 2022. In June 2023, the Nikulinsky court already fined the writer 40 thousand rubles for posts in a Telegram channel without a foreign agent sign. In addition, in October 2022, Bykov received a 10 thousand fine for a similar violation. In addition, in a conversation with pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) and Alexey Stolyarov (Lexus) , the recording of which they posted online on December 11, Bykov, thinking that he was talking with the head of the office of the head of the Kiev regime Andrey Ermak , said that he had no complaints about Ukrainian Armed Forces because of the killings of Russians. He also added that he was going to return to Russia. According to him, he has many students left in the country who are “adequate” to the current situation. Bykov also expressed his readiness to teach and perform in Ukraine if he is called. In the interview, he also said that he dreams that Ukraine would capture Mariupol, and also expressed his readiness to buy drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine from royalties from published books. In this regard, the head of the Federal Project for Security and Anti-Corruption (FPBC), Vitaly Borodin, turned to the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to check the writer for financing the Ukrainian army. |
