Consensus

- The photo was reported to the Center 'E' on extremism by deputy rector Dmitry Zemtsov.

- A Moscow court fined the student 1,000 rubles.
- The incident occurred in May 2026.
Points of divergence
- Zemtsov authored a statement to Center 'E' in early May 2026, and the student's name is not mentioned in the court ruling. — tg_doxajournal
- Zemtsov oversaw the creation of the pro-war student organization 'White Raven' and disbanded the legitimate HSE Student Council without authority. — tg_doxajournal
- The source claims Zemtsov is highly active, involved in intrigues, and only supports students loyal to him or affiliated with his organizations. — tg_doxajournal
- Zemtsov's actions reflect a broader institutional shift at HSE from resisting state requests for student data during protests to actively demonstrating loyalty even without being asked. — tg_doxajournal
