On 18 July, the Pervomaisky District Court in Omsk sentenced local businessman Roman Miroshnikov to two years of compulsory labour on charges of participating in the activities of an “undesirable organisation” (Part 1, Article 284.1 of the Criminal Code) and financing it (Part 2, Article 284.1 of the Criminal Code). OMSKREGION reported this.
According to the case file published on the court’s website, Miroshnikov’s case, in which he was accused of involvement in the AllatRa movement founded in Ukraine, has been considered since May.
Based on information from OMSKREGION, the businessman travelled around Russia in search of new followers for AllatRa, organising creative concerts for this purpose in which his partner’s children took part. The agency claims the businessman brought about a hundred people into the movement, persuading them to donate money to the organisation. In addition, he sold a sports facility in Omsk and transferred about one million roubles (approx. US$11,000) to accounts “of the main adherents from Ukraine.” Previously, Miroshnikov was the director of the fitness and wellness centre Harmony.
OMSKREGION also published a video statement recorded by the businessman. ‘AllatRa for me—it is freedom, it is love, it is life. It is a chance to become a real person. There is nothing more important than life in the global sense, the life of all humanity. That is why the international project “Creative Society” is the meaning of my life,’ says Miroshnikov, wearing a T-shirt with the words ‘Creative Society.’
In January 2024, the businessman was detained in a criminal case regarding an “undesirable organisation.”
A few months before that, Miroshnikov was fined five thousand roubles (approx. US$55) under an administrative offence for participating in the activity of an “undesirable organisation” (Article 20.33 of the Administrative Offences Code). In the published court decision, the organisation’s name is redacted, but it is indicated that it was created in Ukraine. It is likely that this was also AllatRa. The reason for the fine was a video that Miroshnikov shared on VKontakte.
Back in 2021, in an interview with Omsk-Inform, the businessman spoke about his interest in AllatRa’s literature and support for the Creative Society.
- The AllatRa movement was founded in Ukraine in 2011 and combines elements of religious cult, conspiracy theories, philosophical, and esoteric beliefs. The Ukrainian analytical outlet VoxUkraine, in 2021, linked AllatRa’s activities to Russian propaganda. Meanwhile, Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office, which in 2023 declared the movement an “undesirable organisation,” claimed that its participants were receiving instructions from Ukrainian handlers. In 2025, the Supreme Court of Russia classified AllatRa as an extremist organisation.
