A Russian dissident and Yabloko party figure, Lev Shlosberg, has been sentenced to 11 years and one month in prison for speaking out against the Ukraine war and being labeled a “foreign agent.” His arrest stems from posts criticizing Putin—including a graphic Telegram image comparing a bloodied woman to the president—and calling for an end to hostilities. Though he insists the charges are baseless, this is his second trial in two years, with his imprisonment dating back to December 2025. In court, he lamented Russia’s erosion of human rights over three decades and warned that the true cost of war will shock the nation. Yabloko condemned the verdict as brutal and unjust, while Amnesty International called it a direct retaliation for peaceful advocacy—and demanded his immediate release.
