Biography
On 5 January 2015, the Prosecutor's Office of Udmurtia reported that a criminal case on the posting of a caricature of Jesus Christ on the Internet had been referred to court.
The criminal case was initiated under Part 1 Article 282 of the Criminal Code (incitement to hatred) against Timur Shoev, a 23-year-old resident of Izhevsk, who posted on his social network page "an image of Jesus Christ [crucified on a cross], against whom a group of people are committing violent acts" (recognised as extremist material in January 2014) and anti-Christian comments to the post.
