A Moscow court on Thursday imposed a 50,000-rouble (€505) fine on a TV presenter and actress who gained notoriety for hosting an "almost naked" party, saying her social media posts calling for peace discredited the military. Anastasia Ivleeva sparked an explosion of public indignation in the increasingly traditionalist country last December when she hosted a party encouraging guests to wear almost nothing. Ivleeva did not appear in court on Thursday for the non-criminal case, in which she was fined for two social media posts in the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine that called for pea...

Vladimir Putin now adds another six years to his reign in the Kremlin after "winning" a fraudulent election on 17 March with 88 % of the vote. Now he may feel inclined to become even more aggressive towards Ukraine and the rest of Europe. The risks for the EU and its civilization are now truly existential. If we rule out appeasement, a counter-offensive must now be developed. Putin began his reign as president in 2000 with the ruthless suppression of Chechen separatists and the total destruction of the Chechen capital Grozny, causing around 60,000 casualties — methods he later employed on a mu...

It also comes as Moscow’s war in Ukraine enters its third year. Voters will cast their ballots Friday through Sunday at polling stations across the vast country’s 11 time zones, as well as in illegally annexed regions of Ukraine. The first polling stati...

Thousands gathered in Moscow to say a final farewell to Alexei Navalny on Friday, two weeks after his sudden death in an Arctic prison. As Navalny's parents sat by the open casket, cradling and kissing their son’s face, many chanted slogans against Russian president Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine as they gathered at the church where the opposition figure was laid to rest. There was a heavy police presence at the funeral, which remained relatively peaceful. Here are some of the most powerful photos taken on the day.

The European Parliament on Thursday adopted a resolution condemning political oppression in Russia and the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The voting session held in the French city of Strasbourg worked through issues such as the need for EU action in support of political prisoners and oppressed civil society in Russia, as well as the urgency of strong EU support for Ukraine two years since the Russian invasion began. Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya addressed the European Parliament on Wednesday and implored the 27-nation bloc to stand up to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Alexei ...

A liberal candidate on Wednesday lost another appeal against the decision of election officials to bar him from running in Russia's upcoming elections. Boris Nadezhdin had made halting the war in Ukraine his main campaign slogan, ahead of next month's presidential election which Vladimir Putin is widely expected to win. Authorities' refusal to register him for the race underlines the Kremlin's refusal to allow public opposition to its actions. After a day of deliberations, Russia’s Supreme Court ruled to reject Nadezhdin’s appeal against the Central Election Commission's decision to bar him fr...

The ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine in Europe’s eastern fringes, Hamas’ brutal assault on Israel and the ensuing war, and the intermittent clashes between Iran’s proxies and Western forces in the Red Sea beg the question: will these conflicts result in victory, and if so, who will come out on top? In the West, Ukraine, and even Russia, the anticipation of a victorious outcome is tied to the prevailing understanding of the twentieth century as a master narrative for the future — as a go-to history, which helps to grapple with war and conflict. This narrative boils down to defeating o...
