Kruglova

politician

Maxim Kryglov, a former deputy of the Moscow City Duma from the party 'Yabloko', was convicted for spreading false information about the Russian Armed Forces. He was sentenced to seven years in prison and barred from managing websites for three years. The charges stemmed from posts he made in 2022 on Telegram and VKontakte containing unverified claims about military actions, including allegations of war crimes in Bucha and Mariupol. His defense plans to appeal the verdict, and he has expressed that his actions were motivated by a desire for democratic Russia and human rights.
