On 7 August, Elena Moiseenko from Saratov Oblast, a region in southern Russia, was sentenced to 240 hours of compulsory labour under the article on financing an “undesirable organisation” (Part 2, Article 284.1 of the Criminal Code). This was reported on the website of the Tatishchevsky District Court.
According to the investigation, from August 2023 to July 2024, the woman made transfers to the accounts of members and organisers of the “AllatRa” movement. The court’s press release claims that “AllatRa” activists in Russia are establishing contacts with the opposition, organising actions to discredit government policy, and disseminating what it calls “fake news” about the armed forces, allegedly on instructions from “Ukrainian handlers.”
- The “AllatRa” movement was founded in Ukraine in 2011. It combines elements of a religious cult, conspiracy theories, and philosophical and esoteric views. Analytical media outlet VoxUkraine in 2021 linked its activity to Russian propaganda. Two years later, the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office claimed that AllatRa members were receiving instructions from Ukrainian handlers and declared the movement an “undesirable organisation.” In June 2025, the Supreme Court of Russia designated the “AllatRa” movement as an extremist organisation.
