Case summary
An anarchist, she administered Telegram channels dedicated to protests against the war in Ukraine, partisan actions, leftist ideology, animal protection and problems in Transbaikal. Lizunova remained released on her own recognisance. In January 2023, she was detained in Irkutsk and then placed under house arrest. In April 2024, a letter from Snezhkov was published in which he reported that Lizunova had been placed under house arrest; it was later revealed that she had violated house arrest and got back home two hours late. On April 25, 2024, she was sentenced to three and a half years in prison. The prosecution on the charge of vandalism was terminated due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
