Pacifist posts draw law enforcers' attention to couple from Sochi

Valeria and Alexander Dudnikov from Sochi left Russia after the announcement of the partial mobilization. Valeria's pacifist posts in social networks have attracted law enforcers' attention, who visited the Dudnikovs' parents and at their place of registration.

Alexander Dudnikov, a resident of Sochi, has told the "Caucasian Knot" about the persecution of his wife Valeria by law enforcers after her pacifist posts in social networks. According to Alexander, now he and his wife are abroad.

Valeria Dudnikova said that she had a hard time with the start of the special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine and even stopped communicating with many of her acquaintances who did not share her position. At the same time, she did not assume that she "could be affected by any persecution."

"Since October, I began posting my messages with my opinion about what is happening on the Instagram*; I posted the videos that, in my opinion, reflect the reality ... Later, some acquaintances called me and said that they were in solidarity with me, but they were afraid to write comments and put 'likes' to my posts," said Valeria.

According to her story, after placing three pacifist posts, she discovered that she began to have problems with accessing her social media account.

In her posts, she mentioned that she supported the decision of those who left Russia after the announcement of the partial mobilization, as well as those who take actions against it.

Galina, Valeria's mother, said that on November 2, a policeman came to her and said he was looking for her daughter.

"By that moment, Valeria and her husband had already gone abroad, and I was afraid that something had happened to her ... But the policeman explained that Valeria was under investigation under an article for spreading fakes, as she wrote something on the Internet about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict," said Galina.
