Yakutia Man Fined for Hate Speech in Telegram Group Ruling
In Yakutia, a local man has been fined for hate speech and humiliation by the Lensky District Court. The incident, which occurred on August 20, 2025, involved a negative comment posted in a Telegram group. The man, who admitted his guilt, was found to have posted a comment containing elements of incitement to hatred and humiliation based on nationality. The court noted that he was aware his actions aimed to humiliate people based on their nationality. His actions fell under Article 20.3.1 of the Russian Code of Administrative Offenses, and he was subsequently charged with inciting hatred or enmity and humiliating human dignity. The man's actions were brought to light on November 11, 2025, when the Lensky District Court of Yakutia ruled to fine him 10,000 rubles for the offense. However, as of now, the ruling has not yet entered into legal force. The man's guilty admission and the court's ruling serve as a reminder of the seriousness of hate speech and its consequences. The case in Yakutia underscores Russia's commitment to addressing such offenses, with the fine acting as a deterrent for potential future incidents.
