A resident of the Volgograd region out of jealousy publicly insulted the rival
In the Frolov district of the Volgograd region, a local resident was fined three thousand rubles for publicly insulting a rival in the social network.
As established by the judicial authorities, on August 3, 2026, a 32-year-old woman, out of jealousy of a common friend of a man, sent a personal message to her opponent containing expressions degrading honor and dignity. In relation to the violator, an administrative case was initiated under Part 1 of Art. 5.61 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.
Despite proper notice, the woman ignored the meeting, but earlier in written explanations admitted the fact of sending a message. The judge, having examined the screenshot of the correspondence and the testimony of the victim, considered them sufficient to make a decision.
The resolution emphasizes that the right to express an opinion guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation is not absolute and does not allow humiliation of the individual. Offensive language was described as an abuse of freedom of speech. The court order has not yet entered into force.
