After the start of the war in Ukraine, the Russian authorities began to react sharply to protest sentiments: they not only ordered to call the invasion a “special operation”, but also made lightning-fast amendments on imprisonment for up to 15 years for spreading “fakes” about the Russian army.
Dissenters are persecuted not only under the new article of the criminal code: in various cases, security forces charge hooliganism, vandalism, violence against authorities and other violations. Currently, more than 210 people are involved in criminal cases initiated due to protest against the war with Ukraine. Read more about this in our.
