Russia has sentenced a resident of the Siberian region of Krasnoyarsk to 7 1/2 years in prison for posts he made criticizing Soviet dictator Josef Stalin as well as the invasion of Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin outlawed criticism of the invasion of Ukraine and of the Russian armed forces days after he launched the war amid small-scale spontaneous protests around the country.
An investigation by Amnesty International and the Associated Press concluded that Russia bombed the Mariupol theater, killing dozens to hundreds of civilians, including children. Russia has denied targeting the theater, blaming it on Ukrainian artillery. Experts said the damage was consistent with a heavy bomb delivered by plane.
