The former mayor of Yekaterinburg, an important voice of the opposition, was prosecuted for discrediting the army. The prosecutor requested this Thursday, May 18, a very heavy fine, 3,000 euros, the equivalent of five months of the average salary.
Yevgeny Roizman walked out of court at midday still under house arrest, certainly forbidden to use social networks, but free. A relative and extremely rare clemency that can be explained by the support received by this very popular figure in Russia.
