## Resource

Boris Nadezhdin, a Russian opposition figure who dared to challenge Putin and call for an end to the Ukraine war, just got convicted for displaying “extremist symbols” — a move that effectively bars him from running in the upcoming parliamentary elections. His conviction stems from showing a photo of Alexei Navalny in a recent interview, adding another grim chapter to Russia’s crackdown on dissent. Already branded a “foreign agent,” Nadezhdin was still campaigning, even seeking medical help during his court appearance. Despite collecting thousands of signatures, the Supreme Court invalidated enough to disqualify him. This is part of a broader, chilling trend since the Ukraine invasion: hundreds jailed, thousands fleeing, and any voice against the Kremlin silenced.
