A Novorossiysk resident was arrested for promoting extremist symbols.

Krasnodar Krai police reported the arrest of a "malicious propagandist of extremism" in Novorossiysk. The 33-year-old man faces up to four years in prison.

Kuban security forces released footage of the suspect's arrest today. According to the short video, Center E officers detained the man in an office building, knocking him to the floor and handcuffing him.

After his arrest, the man was taken to an apartment in a residential building, where a search was conducted. The suspect's face and the prohibited symbols found in his home are obscured in the footage.

The Krasnodar Krai Department of Internal Affairs labeled the detained 33-year-old Novorossiysk resident a "malicious propagandist of extremism." The man had previously been charged with administrative liability in May 2025 for promoting Nazism, the department's official Telegram channel reported.

A criminal case against the detainee was opened under Article 282.4 of the Russian Criminal Code for repeated propaganda of extremist symbols, which carries a sentence of up to four years in prison or forced labor. Criminal proceedings under this article are initiated in cases where a person has already been charged with administrative liability for the same offense under Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not specify the preventive measure chosen for the Novorossiysk resident.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that a court in Buinaksk is hearing two criminal cases under the article for repeated public display of prohibited symbols. On February 11, both defendants were added to the Rosfinmonitoring list of terrorists and extremists: 33-year-old Magomedtagir Kambulatov is a native of Buynaksk, and 29-year-old Kurban Arabkhanov was born in the village of Mogokh in the Gergebil district of Dagestan.
