The convicted individual is a deputy of the "State Council of the Republic of Crimea" from the "United Russia" party, the head of the Committee on People's Diplomacy and Interethnic Relations, who, after the full-scale invasion, initiated a propaganda campaign against Ukraine and called on Crimeans to support the armed aggression of the Russian Federation.  

Prosecutors in court proved that in 2022 he gave a series of interviews to the pro-Russian television channel "Millet" of the media holding "ANO "Crimea Television and Radio Company", in which he publicly called for the large-scale use of the armed forces of the Russian Federation to maintain control over the occupied territories and further seize Ukraine.

The convicted individual also emphasized the "legitimacy" of the Russian Federation's occupation of the Crimean Peninsula, presenting it as a rescue of the population from "fascist ideology" and the "destructive influence of the West".

He is charged with public calls for the violent overthrow of the constitutional order and the seizure of state power (part 3 of Article 109 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), collaborationist activities (part 6 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), and justifying and recognizing the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine as lawful (part 3 of Article 436-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
