Today, Open Space Moscow celebrated the birthday of a political prisoner Dmitry Ivanov, the editor of the Telegram channel “MSU Protesting,” with cakes, stickers, candles, and merch.
In addition to Ivanov, who is on trial for disseminating “fake news about the army,” the evening’s organizers remembered other people currently jailed under Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code who are not as well known, in particular:
Olga Smirnova, a Petersburg activist with Peaceful Resistance, who has been prosecuted for writing post about the war in Ukraine and burning a cardboard letter Z.
Vladimir Zavyalov, a businessman who hung anti-war price tags in a supermarket.
Ioann Kurmoyarov, a priest who said on YouTube that hell awaits the soldiers who attacked Ukraine.
Igor Baryshnikov, a Kaliningrad activist who wrote about Bucha on Facebook.
