Anti-war sociologist and Marxist theorist Boris Kagarlitsky has been fined 600,000 rubles ($6,600) for “justifying terrorism” in comments he made about Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, independent media reported Tuesday. Kagarlitsky, founder and chief editor of the left-wing news organization Rabkor, was detained in July in connection with a since-deleted YouTube video about the 2022 Crimea bridge explosion. The sociologist denied the charges of “justifying terrorism” against him.
Over 20,000 anti-war opponents have been subject to a wide range of reprisals by Russian authorities to silence all public dissent against the invasion of Ukraine. Amnesty International, which has been tracking the repression, compiled the figure in a recent report.
