A protocol on discrediting the Russian Army has been drawn up against Alexander Faustov, a resident of the city of Maykop, the capital of Adygea, who went to the city square with a pacifist poster.

Alexander came out to the monument to Lenin located in the central square of the city with a poster of pacifist content.

He was taken to the police station; and his phone was taken away from him. A protocol was drawn up against Alexander Faustov under the article on discrediting the Russian Army, the "OVD-Info"* project has reported. His sister told journalists about Faustov's detention.

Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" reported that a court in Adygea imposed a fine of 800,000 roubles on the 39-year-old Igor Korotkov, treating the video about the Russian Army, the link to which Igor had posted in the messenger, as a fake.
