After all, on January 17, he and his wife were convicted of "petty hooliganism" - he was sentenced to 15 days, while the sentence for his wife is unknown. According to the testimony of security officials, Anatoly Volodko "was in a public place and, out of hooligan motives, was shouting loudly, using obscene language, waving his arms and behaving aggressively." The man did not admit his guilt and said that he was detained in his own home in the middle of the day. He did not do any of the things that the witnesses said.
According to cellmate Anatoly Volodko, he refused to pay "donations" that KGB officers threatened to offer to those who made donations. In general, the man did not admit his guilt. Anatoly's cellmate claims that this served as the reason for further prosecution - administrative and criminal.
