A judge in the southern Voronezh region has found a Ukraine war veteran guilty of “displaying extremist or Nazi symbols,” days after he posted a video online threatening to take up arms against the Kremlin if President Vladimir Putin refused to meet with him.
Alexander Lunin drew widespread attention last week after claiming the Russian army would “turn its weapons against the Kremlin” unless Putin personally met with him to address the alleged abuse of soldiers by military commanders. The video has since garnered millions of views on social media.
