Medusa publishes Ilya Yashin’s letter from the colony - why the Kremlin decided to kill Navalny After the start of the war, Ilya Yashin decided to stay in Moscow. He openly opposed the invasion and against the Putin authorities as a whole. In the end, Yashin was arrested, and in December 2022 they sentenced the colony in the case of the distribution of “fakes” about the Russian army (the reason for the persecution was a stream in which the opposition spoke about the murder of civilians in Buch).

Ilya Yashin - 40 years. At the request of Medusa, the politician recalls Russia of 2013-and discusses what will happen to all of us in 2033 Ilya Yashin is one of the few oppositionists who remained in Russia after the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, despite the obvious threat from the authorities. He openly took an anti -war position and talked about the war crimes of Russian soldiers - and eventually received eight and a half years of the colony under the article on fakes.
