Overview

• On June 10, Jabloko deputy chair Lew Schlosberg was detained in Pskow for allegedly discrediting the military by advocating a Ukraine ceasefire during a January debate
• Following searches of his party office and family homes, authorities transferred the 61-year-old to a provisional facility before placing him under two months of house arrest
• Prosecutors accuse Schlosberg of repeated “discreditation” of the Russian army, a charge that carries up to five years in prison if he is convicted
• Schlosberg has previously been fined twice for defaming the military and has faced a criminal case since last October for failing to register as a “foreign agent”
• Once one of the last prominent anti-war figures still in Russia, Schlosberg’s detention signals an intensifying crackdown on opposition and critical media
