A singer from Perm has received a sentence of community service for her involvement with the Stoptime movement. Local activist Artyom Faizulin described the punishment as ‘mild’ and ‘one she can almost be congratulated on in today’s reality.’ The Stoptime movement, which has gained traction in recent months, advocates for the abolition of stop-time policies in public transportation, a stance that has sparked debate across the region.
The artist, whose name has not been disclosed publicly, was reportedly detained following a protest organized by the movement. While specifics of the case remain under review, the community service sentence has been interpreted by some as a lenient response to the activist’s actions, which were seen as provocative by local authorities.
