A Russian court last night handed down a two-year sentence to a woman from St. Petersburg who left a note on the grave of Vladimir Putin’s parents, on which it was written that they “raised a freak and a murderer”, the Associated Press reported, quoted by BTA.
The court found 60-year-old Irina Tsybaneva guilty of desecrating burial grounds motivated by political hatred. Her lawyer said she pleaded not guilty because she did not physically desecrate the grave and did not seek publicity for her action.
The note Tsibaneva left at the guarded grave on the eve of Putin’s birthday in October read: “Parents of a maniac, take him with you. He causes so much pain and trouble. The whole world is praying for his death. Death to Putin . You raised a freak and a murderer.”
Since Putin sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022, the government has begun cracking down on dissent in a way not seen since the Soviet Union.
In another case, a Russian government agency added actor Artur Smolyaninov and former adviser to the Ukrainian president Oleksiy Arestovich to the list of “extremists and terrorists”.
In an interview with the European edition of the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta published in January, Smolyaninov said that he would hypothetically participate in military action only on the side of Ukraine.
Oleksiy Arestovich resigned after claiming on the Internet that the Russian missile that killed 45 people in the city of Dnipro had hit a residential building as a result of actions by Ukrainian air defenses.
