Ukraine

76 yo granny ratted her out.. what a cunt.

Is "snitches get stitches" only a western thing? (I'm fully aware of the soviet "spy on your neighbor" mindset)

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Aleksandra “Sasha” Skochilenko, an artist, musician and activist, was found guilty on Thursday of “knowingly spreading false information about the Russian army” in March 2022.

The artist admitted replacing five price tags in a local supermarket with pieces of paper urging shoppers to stop the war and resist propaganda on television.

Many have been charged under the law against spreading “fake” information about the military, which was hastily adopted after Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

“How fragile must the prosecutor’s belief in our state and society be, if he thinks that our statehood and public safety can be brought down by five small pieces of paper?” said Skochilenko, 33, in a final statement in court on Thursday.

Skochilenko, who has been declared a political prisoner by the Russian human rights group Memorial, has struggled with health problems during a 19-month pre-trial detention period.

Skochilenko was arrested after a 76-year-old shopper alerted police, an act compared to the Soviet-era practice of ordinary citizens spying for the security services.

The original article contains 532 words, the summary contains 171 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Sasha, you won't be forgotten.

Soon we can assume all russians who haven't been in prison are scum. You know a russian is honest, if they have been to the gulag for a few years 🙃
