On December 15, 2011, Khadzhimurad Kamalov, the founder of the Chernovik newspaper, was murdered in Makhachkala. Fourteen years after the tragedy, the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of Russia upheld the sentences of those found guilty of the murder.
A case has been opened against Oksana Kobeleva, the author of the Z-channel "Security in a Vatnik," for "discrediting" the Russian Armed Forces. The case will be heard in the Gelendzhik City Court.
The alleged reason for the case was criticism of General Apti Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat special forces, in one of Kobeleva's posts. The military commander agreed that the commission investigating the case of drone operators Ernest and Goodvin, who were sent on a deadly assault for criticizing their commanders, may have been improperly conducted. According to the activist, such statements are spread only by "foreign agents" and "extremists."
Kobeleva's statements provoked a backlash from other Z-bloggers, who accused her of aggressive behavior.
Oksana Kobeleva is known for her pro-Russian stance and criticism of opposition forces. In her posts, she has stated that she is proud to be Russian and called herself a "guardian."
