Alexander Byvshev, a rural teacher from Orlov region, posted his poem “To Ukrainian patriots” on social media. The teacher suffered harassment, and the Office of the Public Prosecutor brought a criminal case against him on the grounds of “inciting hatred and enmity”. Byvshev faces four years imprisonment.

Extract:
“Meet your enemies as your ancestors did
So that here, no other boots can clatter
Prepare for them a porridge of lead
May God protect you in the merciless battle!”
