A Russian university student received a 10-day jail term after naming his WiFi network "Slava Ukraini" (Glory to Ukraine), according to the Moscow court system website. "The Moscow State University student replaced the name of the network from his WiFi router with 'Slava Ukraini,' the rallying cry of Ukraine forces," a filing stated. Moscow's Nikulinsky Court identified the student as Oleg Tarasov, who it said was found guilty of "displaying extremist symbols." The court also ordered the confiscation of his router. Russian authorities have stepped up actions against any signs of dissent since the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. To read the original story by Current Time, click here.
