"I'm proud of my children": The son of a United Russia member from Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug has been added to the list of terrorists and extremists.

Please note that in the summer of 2022 Rasul Imamerzaev was included in the Rosfinmonitoring list, drew publication journalists Muksun.fmA month earlier, Rasul was tried under the criminal article "Public calls to commit terrorist activity or public justification of terrorism." 

"He was fined 30 rubles for allegedly showing someone something from his phone. The whole country shows things like that. But they couldn't prove that either." — Rasul’s father, a member of United Russia, explained to journalists Osman Imamerzaev.

The politician insists that both the criminal case against his son and the "campaign to publicize these circumstances" are orchestrated. But what can be done about it? Osman doesn't plan anything: "I won't stoop to the level of the tabloids. But I'm proud of my children."

Imamerzaev Sr. claims he even knows who ordered it, but declined to name names. He only clarified that his son's trial began precisely at the same time the election campaign began. In 2022, Osman ran for the Nyagan City Duma, and in 2023, he announced his candidacy for the Nyagan City Duma by-election.

To clarify, on September 10, residents of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug will elect 712 city and district council deputies, 41 heads of urban and rural settlements, and also take part in the Tyumen Oblast gubernatorial election.
