Outcome reported
- Russian war opponent Lida Moniava, 38, was released from a Moscow court in what Berlingske described as a rare reversal by the Russian justice system.
- Supporters openly cheered and chanted her name as she left the courthouse.
- Moniava again publicly voiced her opposition to the war after her release.
They cheered and shouted her name in unison. Moments after the young war opponent Lida Moniava walked out through the gates of a Moscow district court, she publicly repeated what few people in Russia now dare even whisper: her opposition to the war.
Moniava, 38, had been released in what Berlingske described as a rare reversal by the Russian justice system. People waiting outside greeted her with open jubilation as she made her way to freedom.
The release and the reaction outside the courthouse suggested, in the source’s framing, that the authorities may have reached the limits of what Russians are willing to accept.
