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.
An investigation by Amnesty International and the Associated Press concluded that Russia bombed the Mariupol theater, killing dozens to hundreds of civilians, including children.
Putin has also sought to defend the Soviet Union's record in World War II, describing it as a victim of Nazi aggression and papering over Stalin's decision to invade Poland, Finland, and the Baltic States prior to the 1941 Nazi invasion.
