The ex-administrator of the “She fell apart” public was sentenced to 14 years for donating in cryptocurrency
December 28th, 2023

The former administrator of the VKontakte public network "She fell apart," Felix Eliseev, known as "Rumata Estorsky," has been sentenced to a 14-year prison term for charges related to treason and incitement to terrorism. The news was shared by the project's creator, Evgeniy Buzev, via Facebook.

Eliseev's legal troubles commenced in December 2022 when he was detained in connection with allegations of justifying terrorism due to anti-war posts found on the Telegram channel "Kalkhoznoe madness." It was purported that he had endorsed strikes on an oil depot in Belgorod. Subsequently, after nine months, the Federal Security Service (FSB) accused him of treason, alleging that he had transferred cryptocurrency to a Ukrainian citizen. The FSB claimed these funds were utilized to procure "uniforms and ammunition" for the air assault troops of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

A video featuring Eliseev's confession was aired on the Vesti-Lipetsk TV channel, where he was labeled a "left-wing radical activist" and identified as a "sponsor of militants."

The "She fell apart" public network, dedicated to chronicling the history of the USSR's collapse, operated for eight years and engaged former and current political activists. However, in October 2022, all posts on the community's pages were purged due to allegations and denunciations.

This incident follows a broader pattern, as on October 26, the FSB charged a resident from Sovetskaya Gavan, Khabarovsk Territory, named Alexander Vechirko, with high treason. Allegations against Vechirko revolved around accusations of financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine through cryptocurrency, as per investigators' claims.
