The Krasnodar activist received a second fine for a comment about the gasoline situation.

A native of Dagestan, Kurban Magomedrasulov, has been sentenced again to a fine of 30,000 rubles for a comment under a publication about the fuel shortage in the Krasnodar region. The activist does not consider himself guilty of insulting the authorities.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on October 21, a court in Krasnodar found Dagestan native Kurban Magomedrasulov guilty under the administrative article for insulting the authorities and sentenced him to a fine of 30,000 rubles.

The protocol reviewed on October 21 was drawn up due to an insulting message directed at a subscriber of one of the Telegram channels, where comments discussed the news about problems with gasoline. Magomedrasulov believes that the offense falls under part 2 of article 5.61 of the Administrative Code (public insult, that is, humiliation of the honor and dignity of another person), which provides for a smaller fine for citizens: from five thousand to 10 thousand rubles.

The court in Krasnodar fined Kurban Magomedrasulov 30,000 rubles. The reason was an obscene message directed at a subscriber of the city Telegram channel under the news about fuel problems. Magomedrasulov was found guilty under the administrative article for insulting the authorities (part 3 of article 20.1 of the Administrative Code), RusNews reports today.

Previously, six protocols were drawn up against the activist: two for insulting the authorities and four for discrediting the army (article 20.3.3 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation), the publication writes.

The activist disagrees with the verdict

Kurban Magomedrasulov himself reported on the past meeting today in his Telegram channel "Kurban. Diary of an Activist" (25 subscribers).

"The petition for a judicial linguistic expertise was rejected. Found guilty and fined 30,000 rubles. The decision will be appealed. I do not consider myself guilty under article 20.1 part 3; there was no disrespect to the state, the constitution, and government bodies in my comment. At the same time, I am not trying to evade responsibility - I asked the judge to send the materials to the prosecutor's office to initiate proceedings against me under article 5.61 part 2, which I actually violated," the activist wrote.

They stretched the article like an owl on a globe.

He explained that he was fined for a comment with a question containing an obscene word. "Written under a post about the fuel shortage in the Krasnodar region. The post was about the authorities recommending residents of the region to refrain from long trips to save fuel. They stretched the article like an owl on a globe," Magomedrasulov expressed his opinion.

In the summer of 2026, against the backdrop of drone attacks on oil refineries, including in southern Russia, a fuel crisis arose. In Kuban, after the end of the tourist season, queues at gas stations decreased, but the shortage of certain brands of gasoline persisted, and at some private gas stations, the price of fuel, according to residents, reached 160-190 rubles per liter. Materials about the fuel shortage situation in southern Russia have been collected by "Caucasian Knot" on the page "Caucasus: what's with gasoline?".

Consideration of four more cases against Magomedrasulov is scheduled for November

Earlier, on October 20, the activist reported that hearings on two administrative cases were scheduled for October 21 and 28, and the others for November 24.

On November 24, there will be as many as four hearings.

"Tomorrow [October 21] at 10:40 there will be the first hearing on my case for violating article 20.1 part 3 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. On October 28, there will be the second hearing, which will consider the second violation of article 20.1 part 3. And on November 24, there will be as many as four hearings regarding four violations of article 20.3.3. Unfortunately, the hearings will take place in small rooms where there is no space for outsiders, so those who wanted to come better stay home - you simply won't be allowed into the hall," he wrote that day in his Telegram channel.

Let us remind you that Kurban Magomedrasulov is a native of the village of Pervomaiskoye in the Kayakent district of Dagestan. He is a Krasnodar agitator for the "Apple" party and a candidate for membership in this party. Magomedrasulov is married and works as a cook.

On September 24, Magomedrasulov submitted a notification for holding a rally against election fraud in the Krasnodar mayoral elections. On September 27, it became known that after the refusal to approve the rally, Magomedrasulov was detained near the city hall, and six administrative protocols were drawn up against him.

On September 28, a Telegram channel associated with law enforcement published a video with apologies from 19-year-old Kurban Magomedrasulov for discrediting the army and using obscene language. Later, the video was posted by "Living Kuban", calling Magomedrasulov a "provocateur". Magomedrasulov agreed to appear in the video with "repentance" in order to have the opportunity to get out of the police department.
