Teenagers in Odessa were detained for recording a video with the flag of the National Bolshevik Party of Russia

The police have apprehended teenagers in Odessa who recorded a video with the flag of the National Bolshevik Party of Russia.

Local publications report this incident, although there hasn’t been an official statement from law enforcement yet.

According to these reports, the teenagers are being charged under Article 436-1 for “Manufacturing, disseminating communist, Nazi symbols, and propaganda of communist and national-socialist (Nazi) totalitarian regimes.” They could face up to 5 years of imprisonment under this article.

In the video, while holding the flag, the boys stated that “Ukrainians are Russians,” asserting that there is a war between the spiritual world and the “world of shadows.” They suggested throwing eggs at the Odessa City Hall and marching in a “pride parade” towards the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament).
