Legislation was passed in March imposing jail terms of up to 15 years for intentionally spreading 'fake' news about Russia's army.
Gorinov, a deputy at Moscow's Krasnoselsky district council and a trained lawyer, was sentenced by a court in Russia's capital to seven years in a penal colony for criticizing what Putin calls a"special military operation." He was also banned from holding public office for four years after his release.
In April, he stated his opposition to the council's plans to hold a children's art competition and a dancing festival in the local area amid the war in Ukraine, where he said"children were dying."
