Starmer Puts Savages On The Streets.....
News0 min ago
A ballet dancer with Russian/American citizenship has been sentenced to 12 years imprisonment in Moscow for 'contributing to a terrorist organisation '.
While in America she had donated $60 to an Ukrainian charity.
The evidence of this, on her phone, seems to have been enough to convict her.
Are there any Russians in Western custody who could be swapped for the young woman?

But as TTT says, why go back? Just becasue you have familly really isnt reason enough for a country like that.
If you were an innocent person, as I assume this young lady is, you might think the state would have no interest in you. And that's likely true, but they would be very interested in the fact that she holds an American passport.
'Why go back?', is a good question. Family bonds are strong and the naive thought that you couldn't be of interest to the state is enough to put you in danger.
......Under Putin, the Russian state has become, in essence, an organized crime syndicate. Its internal logic, processes, incentive structure, and behavior resemble those of a mafia family. And the most destabilizing moment for a crime syndicate is when the mafia boss looks weak.....
