Russia's ruthless crackdown on dissent has seen thousands of ordinary Russians jailed or fined.

The Moscow State University student had titled the network “Slava Ukraini!” which means “Glory to Ukraine!”.

A Moscow court found him guilty of displaying “symbols of extremist organisations” on Thursday.

Since the start of Russia’s war in Ukraine, thousands have been handed prison terms or fines for criticising the invasion or supporting Ukraine.

The student was arrested on Wednesday morning in Moscow, after a police officer had reported the network name to authorities.

    Imagine living in a country with such thin skin where you get punished for something like a wifi name. What sore losers. Imagine having to write that report and not once thinking “I think we are the bad guys…”. They are all afraid and weak when they should be brave and overpower their misguided leaders.
