Overview
- Troyanova was sentenced by the 2nd Western District Military Court in Moscow to eight years in a penal colony, a 250,000‑ruble fine, and a four‑year ban on administering websites.
- State prosecutors had asked for nine years’ imprisonment, the same fine, and a five‑year prohibition on managing internet sites.
- The court found her guilty under articles covering public calls to terrorism, incitement of hatred and national humiliation, and evasion of foreign‑agent duties.
- Authorities say the charges stem from a June 2024 interview recorded abroad and later posted online, which prosecutors argue justified violence against Russians.
- Her lawyer says she denies criminal intent and will appeal; she has been designated a foreign agent since November 2023, added to the terrorists and extremists list in July, and remains arrested in absentia and internationally wanted.
