Physicist Dmitry Bogmut was sentenced to seven years in a general regime colony for "spreading knowingly false information about the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation" (Article 207.3, Part 2 of the Criminal Code). The prosecution had requested eight years in a colony for the scientist. The criminal case against Dmitry Bogmut was initiated in the spring of 2024. The grounds for persecution were a series of anti-war publications. Before his arrest, the man worked as a technician in the laboratory of neutron physical and chemical research at the B.P. Konstantinov Institute of Nuclear Physics of the NRC "Kurchatov Institute" in Gatchina. During his time in pre-trial detention, the physicist repeatedly complained about health problems and inadequate medical care. Bogmut does not acknowledge his guilt. Speaking at the last word, the scientist said that the verdict would be "against the truth and common sense." "From my point of view, solving any global conflicts, issues of unrest with the help of military force is monstrous. The current militarism, the current savoring of war - I cannot accept it, I cannot understand... Any war carries only blood, suffering, and death," - Bogmut stated. Dmitry Bogmut has been included in the register of "terrorists and extremists" of Rosfinmonitoring. This status implies blocking bank accounts and a number of other serious financial restrictions, effectively putting a person on the brink of survival.
