Investigators suspect a Buinaksk resident of repeatedly publicly displaying symbols of an extremist organization via social media.

The criminal prosecution of the Dagestan resident was based on materials from the republic's FSB.

According to investigators, on September 22, 2025, the suspect was previously charged under Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for similar actions and fined. However, as security forces established, he deliberately failed to remove prohibited symbols from his personal social media page.

Maintaining posts with extremist symbols on the man's page is considered a continuation of their public display, according to a message on the official Telegram channel of the Investigative Committee of Dagestan.

A criminal case has been opened under the article on the repeated public display of symbols of an extremist organization , the agency clarifies.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that the Kirov District Court of Makhachkala sentenced 22-year-old Dagestani resident Yusuf Gashimov to forced labor for calls for extremist activity.
