Russian teen faces years in jail over social media post criticizing war in Ukraine
SME —
Olesya Krivtsova is sporting an anti-Putin tattoo one ankle and a bracelet the tracks every step on the other.
The 19-year-old from Russia’s Arkhangelsk region must wear the device while she is under house arrest after she was charged over social media posts that authorities say discredit the Russian army and justify terrorism.
Russian officials have added Krivtsova, along with ISIS and al Qaeda, to their list of terrorists/extremists. She posted an Instagram story in October about the blast on the Crimean Bridge. It also criticised Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Krivtsova was a student of Northern (Arctic) Federal University. This university is located in Arkhangelsk’s northwestern region.
