The Moscow prosecutor’s office conducted an investigation into historian Tamara Eidelman and identified statements “expressing clear disrespect for the day of military glory of Russia and the memorable date of Russia associated with the defense of the Fatherland, as well as insulting the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland.”
The department’s statement says that these statements were identified during network monitoring in the author’s program on Eidelman’s channel—probably referring to her YouTube channel “History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman.”
Based on the inspection materials, the issue of initiating a criminal case under the article on the rehabilitation of Nazism (354.1 of the Criminal Code) will be decided.
In addition, the Moscow prosecutor’s office completed an investigation into actress Yana Troyanova and sent materials to the investigative authorities to initiate a case under the article on inciting hatred (clause “a” of part 2 of article 282 of the Criminal Code). On June 11, the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, ordered an investigation into Troyanova because of an interview with Novaya Gazeta Europe, in which the actress said that Russians “deserve” calls to kill Russians because of the war in Ukraine. “Of course, today we deserve it when they shout in our faces: “Russians must be killed, even children.” Or as the Ukrainians say: “A good Russian is a dead Russian,” Troyanova said.
The prosecutor’s office also reported that it had initiated a case of evading the obligations of a “foreign agent” (Part 2 of Article 330.1 of the Criminal Code) against the singer Monetochka (Elizaveta Gyrdymova).
Eidelman, Troyanova and Monetochka were declared “foreign agents” by the Russian Ministry of Justice. The department declared Tamara Eidelman a “foreign agent” in September 2022, Troyanova in November 2023, and Monetochka in January 2023.
