The mother of the deceased conscript said that she was accused of discrediting the army because of the interview

In the Tyumen region, Alla Fatkhelislamova, who spoke in an interview with Novaya Gazeta.Europe about the death of her conscript son during shelling in the Belgorod region, was accused of discrediting the army. This was told by the woman herself to the local portal 72.ru. According to her, a woman named Anna Korobkova wrote a denunciation to the police about her.

As Alla Fatkhelislamova said, her son Afanasy Podaev died at the end of 2022 during the shelling, when he was serving on the border in the Belgorod region. Journalists from Novaya Gazeta.Europe interviewed the woman. It was released on YouTube on May 29th.

According to the mother of the deceased conscript, a few days after the interview was released, she received a denunciation to the police from Anna Korobkova, who indicated that the woman had discredited the Russian army with her statements during the interview.

“They came from the police, showed on the phone that a denunciation had been received. Why did you give the interview? They didn’t even know that my son was dead. A couple of days later they came to my work, brought a paper version of the application to read. We ask you to severely punish Fathelislamova Alla for discrediting,” the woman said. “It is written, they say, that even during the Great Patriotic War, relatives did not have the right to speak out against it. And my words are also printed there,” she explained.

According to Alla Fatkhelislamova, the police said that she would soon be summoned to court. She also added that she still does not understand how to report on a mother who has lost her son.
