Headline: Opposition Leader Lev Schlosberg Under the Scrutiny of Authorities
Hey there! Here's a scoop on the recent happenings with Lev Schlosberg, deputy head of the opposition party Yabloko, and the leader of the Pskov branch of the party.
It seems that Schlosberg's residence has been under the lens of the authorities. This is connected to a criminal case surrounding claims of discrediting the Russian army. Fun fact: Schlosberg has faced administrative responsibilities for this offense not just once, but twice, in the year 2024.
We've reached out to Schlosberg, his lawyer, his assistant, and the SCD of Russia's Pskov region, but haven't heard back yet. In October 2024, similar circumstances unfolded when searches were conducted at Schlosberg's home. The Investigative Committee reported that a criminal case was opened against him for evading the duties of a foreign agent.
Yabloko has stated that Schlosberg does not admit guilt and follows all legal requirements related to being listed as a foreign agent. Quite interestingly, the Pskov branch of Yabloko also experienced searches that very same month. Office equipment and personal laptops of employees were seized during the search.
As a prominent figure in the Yabloko opposition party, Schlosberg has been vocal about his criticism towards the Russian government, particularly its involvement in Ukraine. He was also arrested and charged with discrediting the Russian army, a common charge used against critics of the Russian government. He was placed under house arrest as part of the legal proceedings against him.
