Alexandra Naumova (Dukhanina)

Alexandra Dukhanina (after marriage, she took Naumova's surname) participated in the activities of the Occupy movement and in actions in defence of the Tsagovsky Forest. She was one of the first detainees in the Bolotnaya case. She was accused of participating in the mass riots on Bolotnaya Square on 6 May 2012 and of using violence against riot police by throwing stones or pieces of asphalt and bottles at them. During the confrontation with the so-called victim Anton Sutormin it turned out that he did not receive any bodily injuries and did not experience any pain (he stated that the accused poured kvass on him, which he took as an insult). The indictment states that Dukhanina "threw stones and fragments of asphalt pavement, as well as an empty bottle at the police officers at least 8 times", although there is no evidence as to where this number of throws came from. There is also no unconditional evidence that it was Dukhanina who hit the so-called victims Anton Sutormin and Alexei Zelyanin (he does not consider himself a victim of any of the defendants at all). The prosecutors in the debate asked Naumova to be sentenced to six years' imprisonment in a general regime penal colony. The defence called for her acquittal. The Zamoskvoretsky court sentenced Naumova to three years and three months of suspended imprisonment with a probation period of three years. The Moscow City Court left the judgement unchanged. On 4 July 2016, Naumova's conviction and suspended sentence were expunged - six months earlier than her sentence should have been completed.
