72-year-old Lipetsk resident found guilty of desecration of symbols of military glory

In Lipetsk, the criminal case against a 72-year-old woman who was accused of desecrating symbols of military glory of Russia was completed. The jury found her guilty, but considered that she deserves leniency, the joint press service of the judicial system of the region reported.

As reported in the joint press service of the judicial system of the region, on April 28, 2025, Lipchanka left an insulting inscription on a poster depicting the monument “Motherland Calls!” and St. George’s ribbon. It was placed on the territory of the technopark "Lipetsk" on the street International.

The actions of the woman qualified under part 3 of article 354.1 of the criminal code. We are talking about public desecration of symbols of military glory of Russia and insulting the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland.

The trial was held behind closed doors because the case materials contained classified information. Now the Lipetsk Regional Court will have to impose a sentence, taking into account the verdict of the jury and their decision on leniency.
