Kremlin goons on Thursday charged Maxim Kruglov, the deputy leader of liberal Yabloko party, with “deliberately spreading lies about the Russian army” in two 2022 Telegram posts in which he called on dictator Vladimir Putin to stop the invasion of Ukraine, Reuters reports.
Yabloko has zero seats in Russia’s federal parliament. Its reach is limited to a handful of regional legislatures. That they even exist – for now – is kind of impressive. Might not be much longer.
