This platform does not support, endorse, or condone terrorism or violent extremism in any form.
This individual has been charged under statutes classified as terrorism or extremism offenses. However, these charges should be evaluated with significant scrutiny. International human rights organizations — including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Memorial — have extensively documented that terrorism and extremism statutes in this jurisdiction are routinely applied to prosecute political dissidents, journalists, religious minorities, and peaceful protesters.
The inclusion of this case on the platform reflects the monitoring mission of documenting individuals who may be subject to politically motivated prosecution. It does not constitute an assessment of guilt or innocence, nor an endorsement of any actions attributed to the individual.
Irina Bystrova, head of an art studio, was fined for anti-war posts on social networks, including a picture of Putin engulfed in flames and calls to stop the war in Ukraine. She was later prosecuted again and given a suspended sentence for further publications about the Russian Armed Forces.
