"Participants of the "Sorok Sorokov" movement appealed to the SC of the Russian Federation with a request to check Galkin's sponsorship of the Armed Forces, which falls under Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - "Treason".
Monatic's performance is another reason for the accusations
