Russian authorities have intensified their crackdown on dissent, detaining blogger Ilya Remeslo and convicting politician Boris Nadezhdin on charges related to their anti-war stances. Nadezhdin, previously barred from running for office, faces fines and restrictions, while Remeslo is held on accusations of spreading false information about the military. Both cases highlight the shrinking space for opposition in Russia amid rising discontent over the war in Ukraine.
