Politician Boris Nadezhdin was released from a police station in the Moscow suburb of Dolgoprudny after being detained on July 13 over alleged display of "extremist symbols," according to Russian independent media outlet Mediazona.
After his release later that evening, Nadezhdin revealed that police charged him with the administrative offense of displaying “extremist” symbols for sharing a link to a video that contained an image of the late opposition activist Alexei Navalny.
For the State Duma elections this September, Nadezhdin said he plans to campaign on a platform advocating for a “return to normal life,” though he has admitted that authorities could move to disqualify him once again. Earlier, Ukraine's Presidential Office issued a warning, saying that Russia plans to mobilize 600,000 recruits over 2026 and 2027, with 300,000 to be called up this year and another 300,000 next year.
Ukrainian forces struck a warehouse belonging to Russian e-commerce giant Ozon overnight on Aug. 29, the company announced, as sites across southern Russia's Rostov Oblast were reportedly targeted. Nadezhdin was released on the condition that he appear in court, where his administrative case is scheduled to be heard on July 17, Mediazona reported.
"I am grateful for the information and for the necessary tone of the conversation with Russia," President Volodymyr Zelensky said. He had planned to run as an independent candidate in Russia's State Duma elections scheduled for September 2026 and submitted the required documents to the Central Election Commission in June before beginning to collect signatures.
