A St Petersburg court has sentenced a 19-year-old woman to nearly three years in a penal colony after she was accused of repeatedly “discrediting” the Russian army, including by gluing a quotation on a statue of a Ukrainian poet.

Darya Kozyreva was sentenced to two years and eight months, the Joint Press Service of Courts in St. Petersburg said in statement Friday.

Kozyreva was arrested on February 24, 2024, after she glued a verse by Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko onto his monument in St Petersburg, according to OVD-Info, an independent Russian human rights group.

      Nope, I couldn’t care less about dogpiling. I just get a kick out of the fact that it took you about 3-4 paragraphs to feel even a little bit comfortable with possibly maybe potentially saying something ever so slightly negative about your religioncountry.

        I’m not religious nor am I Russian, you were entirely unclear about what you were asking. Who @s a random person for a random article and doesn’t give any context?
