Russian Sociologist Receives 5-Year Prison Sentence for Anti-War Views
TL;DR
Russian sociologist Boris Kagarlitsky, known for his anti-war stance, has been sentenced to five years in prison for "justifying terrorism," a charge he denies. The court of appeals toughened the initial ruling, which had ordered him to pay a fine, following an appeal by prosecutors. Kagarlitsky, a prominent Marxist theorist, has been critical of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and was detained in connection with a YouTube video about the 2022 Crimea bridge explosion.
