Resident of North Ossetia fined due to criticism of Putin and state propaganda

The industrial court of Vladikavkaz imposed a fine of 30 thousand rubles on local resident Kazbek Alikov under the article “discrediting” the army. He posted an anti-war comment under the video.

“Putin started the war with Ukraine, and now, through his V and Z symbols, he is trying to spread this guilt on all Russians. And through propaganda and the lack of free media - to fool people. If you watch our propaganda for a week, it will seem to you that around every corner there is a Banderaite or a Nazi... Propaganda in Russia is terrifying,” Alikov left such a comment under the video of Kazbek Tedeev, a resident of Kiev, a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, an Ossetian. He called on his people not to believe Russian propaganda, which “never considered Ossetians and other national minorities as a full part of their society, and then invaded Ukraine and destroys civilians.”
