In a notable case on September 9, a local Moscow court sentenced engineer Sergei Krasyuk to three years in prison for discrediting the Russian military. He was found guilty for inscribing pro-Ukrainian messages such as "Glory to Ukraine" on key chains for mobile phone storage, which drew serious legal consequences under the political climate in Russia, emphasizing the risks of expressing dissenting views regarding the ongoing war.
The OVD-Info group reported that the crackdown on anti-war dissent in Russia has intensified, recording at least 1,033 criminal probes initiated against individuals who have publicly condemned the military actions in Ukraine. This reflects a broader governmental strategy to suppress anti-war sentiment and discourage public opposition, highlighting an increasingly oppressive atmosphere for free expression in the context of the ongoing conflict.
