Is third Juno nom the charm for N.S.-raised music teacher? | SaltWire #junos #canada #musicteacherLONDON - A Moscow military court has sentenced a Russian poet to seven years in prison for verses questioning the morality of Russia's war in Ukraine, according to a letter he wrote to a Russian activist.
He also wrote in the letter, reviewed by Reuters, that his conviction stemmed from a poem he published a few weeks after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and a video he shared online showing damage to a Kyiv suburb where his aunt was born. It ends with an appeal to Russia's military to find its"Stauffenberg" - a reference to Adolf Hitler's would-be assassin which he said in the letter may have been interpreted as"an incitement to carry out a conspiracy against the President of Russia, V.V. Putin"The Soviet Union, and the Russian Empire before it, had a long history of repressing writers, who often doubled as dissidents.
Three Russian poets were arrested in September 2022 for reciting verses in a Moscow square condemning the Ukraine war, and received prison sentences ranging from four to seven years.
