Cum a ajuns o cercetătoare în Arctica, cunoscută pentru studiul păsărilor, să fie condamnată la închisoare în urma unei donații de 25 de dolari

Sofia Rozenfeld, a prominent Russian ornithologist, was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for donating $25 to an anti-corruption foundation linked to Alexei Navalny. The charges stemmed from two small transfers made in 2021, which the Russian government classified as funding an extremist organization. Despite facing legal challenges, Rozenfeld remained committed to her research on Arctic birds and refused to leave Russia, stating her dedication to her work and the species she studies. Her case highlights the increasing repression against individuals supporting opposition movements in Russia, especially after the death of Navalny in 2024.
