Extremist and Terrorist List Expanded to Include Publicist Nesmian
Bloggers and public figures, like Anatoly Nesmiyan, whose pen name on LiveJournal is El Murid, find themselves entangled in questionable situations, as evidenced by his recent addition to Rosfinmonitoring's list of terrorists and extremists. This designation, according to the agency, stems from an opened case under the article on terrorism justification.
Born on November 8, 1965, in Krasilovka, Stavishchensky district, Kiev region, Nesmiyan unwittingly found himself in this predicament. Speaking to RBC, Nesmiyan admitted that being added to Rosfinmonitoring's list was a technicality associated with the case opened against him. He also mentioned that the only real change was that all his cards had been discontinued.
In May, Nesmiyan reportedly admitted to RBC that he was a suspect in a criminal case for justifying terrorism due to his social media post about the terrorist attack at the "Krokus City Hall." Accusations against Nesmiyan are not new, as he has claimed he has been under house arrest due to this case.
The public has been watching as the terrorist attack at the "Krokus City Hall" concert hall unfolded on March 22, 2024. Armed with weapons, the attackers stormed the building, firing indiscriminately and setting fires, resulting in the tragic loss of 145 lives and over 550 injuries.
Investigations into the attack revealed that approximately 30 individuals are associated with the case, with four main perpetrators - Tajik citizens Muhammadsobir Fayzov, Dalerjon Mirzoev, Saida-krami Rachabizoda, and Shamshidin Faridun. Four more suspects, identified by the investigation, were reportedly members of the banned terrorist group "Vilayat Khurasan," an Afghan wing of the recognized terrorist and banned in Russia IS (ISIL-Khorasan).
For publicly justifying terrorism under Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code, one can face imprisonment for up to seven years.
