Pskov Regional Court Reimposes House Arrest on Yabloko’s Lev Shlosberg

An appellate ruling granted a prosecutor’s challenge, prompting a planned defense appeal.

Overview

  • Judge Dmitry Kazantsev of the Pskov Regional Court granted the prosecutor’s appeal and reinstated house arrest for Lev Shlosberg in the case over alleged military “discreditation.”
  • The court also extended the house‑arrest term to 8 December 2025, according to the regional courts’ press service cited by RIA Novosti.
  • Yabloko said it will challenge the ruling, stating the new order will be appealed.
  • Investigators say Shlosberg posted a video on Odnoklassniki on 12 January that discredited the Armed Forces, while Yabloko links the case to public debates with historian Yuri Pivovarov where Shlosberg urged a cease-fire.
  • On 7 October the city court had replaced house arrest with a ban on certain actions, as a now‑deleted courts press post the same day claimed a house‑arrest extension, highlighting conflicting official communications.
