Rudoi Iurii Anatolevich
Iurii Rudoi is a fire inspector from the city of Sochi. He held a negative view of the war, subscribed to opposition-leaning Telegram channels, and would comment on the news there. One of his comments, posted in 2025, in which he expressed a wish for Putin’s death, served as the basis for charges of inciting terrorism; another comment, in which he suggested that Ukrainians should strike at the Russian occupiers, led to charges of inciting extremism. Rudoi was also charged with high treason for making donations to a Ukrainian foundation. On August 24, 2026, he was sentenced to 15 years in a maximum-security penal colony.
