The criminal case on "fakes about the army" against the founder of "House with a Lighthouse" Lida Moniava has been terminated. "We have incredible news - the criminal case against Lida Moniava has been terminated due to the absence of a corpus delicti!!! This was reported today to lawyer Mikhail Biryukov by an investigator from the Central Investigative Committee. The official decree on the termination of the case has been sent by the Russian Post," the Telegram channel of her support group said. On September 3, the court sent Lida Moniava under a ban on certain actions in the case of "fakes about the army." For two months, the woman is prohibited from going outside after 8 pm, communicating with witnesses in the case, and using the internet. On September 2, the head of the "House with a Lighthouse" foundation, Lida Moniava, was taken to the Investigative Committee in the case of "fakes about the army," and a search was conducted at her home. In February 2026, Moniava was fined 45 thousand rubles under the article on "discrediting" the army because of three posts on Telegram. The basis for the criminal case was a post calling for money to be transferred for the needs of Ukrainian refugees, published on Moniava's Telegram channel on February 24, 2023, the first anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion. 📱 Protect yourself and your loved ones from internet surveillance, buy ASTRA VPN or connect free Proxy: @astrvpn_bot
