Valerii Kriukov
Biography
A resident of the Sverdlovsk region. He was accused of participating in the activities of an extremist organisation: the investigation believed that he was involved in the Citizens of USSR movement. Representatives of this movement deny the collapse of the USSR; it is not clear how structured this movement is or how serious a threat it poses to Russian society. Kriukov was on recognisance not to leave. On 14 August 2024, he was sentenced to two years in a general regime colony. Presumably, he was released in March 2026.
