Russian woman sentenced for note on Putin's parents' grave
TL;DR
A Russian court has given a two-year suspended sentence to a woman who left a note on the grave of President Vladimir Putin's parents, calling them "parents of a maniac" and accusing them of raising a "freak and a killer." The court found Irina Tsybaneva guilty of desecrating burial places motivated by political hatred. Since Putin sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022, the government has waged a crackdown on dissent unseen since the Soviet era.
