July 13. Sentsov has been on a hunger strike for two full months. Today is his birthday
Oleg Sentsov is 42 years old
July 13 is the birthday of Oleg Sentsov: he turns 42 years old. For 61 days now, Sentsov, sentenced to 20 years on terrorism charges, has been on hunger strike in the Polar Bear colony, demanding the release of Ukrainian political prisoners from prisons. Today, Ekho Moskvy published a letter written on June 22 by Sentsov's mother to Vladimir Putin, in which she asked for pardon for her son . Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the appeal "will certainly be considered," but could not say whether it would lead to any concrete action.
News
Russia refused to return the expulsion of Greek diplomats (an unexpectedly soft decision). The former deputy director of the Hermitage received a suspended sentence for embezzling 30 million rubles (an expected mild decision). "United Russia" proposed to introduce the concept of "pre-retirement age" and make it difficult to dismiss people before retirement (I wonder if there will be a pre-retirement age?). Sociologists have recorded a sharp increase in “free money” among Russians (a joke about lies, impudent lies and statistics). Summer residents will be able to vote for the mayor of Moscow at railway stations and bus stations of the Moscow region (and it seems like not only for Sobyanin, but this is not accurate).
