The case was initiated based on the publications of the former leader of the "dpr" militants in the telegram channel: in the first post, Gorkin suggested the possible surrender of Crimea and commented on non-payment of military personnel with the phrase "Citizens, it's not enough to shoot for this".

In July of this year, Strelkov-Girkin was sentenced by a Moscow City Court to 4 years in prison for calling for extremist activities on the Internet. The court also banned Girkin from administering websites for three years.
