The court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Crimean resident Nestor Shtormov to 20 years in prison, finding him guilty of treason and collaborating with a terrorist organization due to filming a movie deemed anti-Russian.

The Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don issued a verdict against a Crimean resident, finding him guilty of participating in the activities of a terrorist organization and treason.

The reason for initiating the criminal case was Nestor Shtormov's filming of a movie in Sevastopol, writes "Kommersant" on November 10.

The court established that Shtormov contacted a representative of a banned in Russia and recognized terrorist organization of the Ukrainian partisan movement in 2024. From August 2024 to March 2025, he developed a script and filmed videos in Sevastopol, involving another person in the filming.

According to the court's assessment, the film made by Shtormov was intended to create a negative attitude towards Russian authorities and armed forces, as well as deny Crimea's incorporation into Russia.

The actions of the convicted were classified under part 2 of article 205.5 and article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The court sentenced him to 20 years of imprisonment. He will spend the first five years in prison, the remaining term in a strict regime colony.
