“Photograph of the leader of extremist organizations.” How to punish for symbols associated with Navalny
Since 2021, over 150 people have been fined and arrested for FBK logos, photographs of Navalny and his last name. After the death of Alexei Navalny, Russians began to be punished for publicly mentioning the politician. But even before this moment, symbols associated with the leader of the Russian opposition were prohibited. “Verstka” counted how many people have been tried in recent years because of red exclamation marks, photographs and Navalny’s last name.
