A former schoolteacher in Russia has been sentenced to five and a half years in a penal colony for remarks he made online about President Vladimir Putin and Russian "fascism" in Ukraine, his fiancee said on Thursday.
Tushkanov called the bombing "a birthday present for Putler"—a pejorative term linking the Russian president to Adolf Hitler. When Russia responded with rocket strikes against Ukrainian cities, he called it "the revenge of Putin's fascism for the Kerch bridge."
Russia introduced new censorship laws after launching its war on Ukraine last year, prescribing long prison sentences for "discrediting" the armed forces or spreading false information about them. Officers of Russia's FSB security service arrested Tushkanov at his home in the city of Syktyvkar on Dec. 7, independent news outlet Mediazona reported. He was subsequently added to a federal database of "terrorists and extremists."
