A pro-Russian blogger who called for a change of government and denied the occupation of Crimea has been detained

This was reported by the press service of the Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.

The post says that yesterday, October 10, the prosecutor's office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, together with law enforcement officers of the autonomy, detained a citizen of Ukraine who supports the aggressor state in Kyiv. He was served a notice of suspicion of disseminating materials calling for a violent change of state power (Part 3 of Article 109 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and denying the temporary occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine (Part 3 of Article 436-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) using the media.

It was established that the 35-year-old Kyiv resident, supporting Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine and aiming to persuade other citizens to his pro-Russian position, created and maintained several accounts on the social network "tiktok". Later, in 2023-2024, the suspect repeatedly distributed videos through them, calling for a violent change of the current Ukrainian government, namely the President and representatives of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. In addition, he denied the temporary occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine, including the Crimean peninsula.

At the request of the Autonomous Republic's prosecutor's office, the suspect was chosen a measure of restraint in the form of detention without the alternative of bail. He faces up to 8 years in prison with confiscation of property.

The pre-trial investigation is carried out by investigators of the SBU Main Directorate in the AR of Crimea with the operational support of the SBU Department of Counterintelligence Protection of the State's Interests in the Field of Information Security.

Earlier it was reported that the director of the "Krympatriotcenter" will be tried for propaganda of service in the Russian army among children.
