Russian politician Boris Nadezhdin, who is charged with displaying extremist symbols, an administrative offence punishable by a fine or up to 15 days in jail and one that could bar him from running in September's parliamentary elections, leaves after a hearing at the City Court of Dolgoprudny in Moscow Region, Russia. The charges stem from a 2023 online interview, in which he displayed a picture of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Nadezhdin, known for opposing Russia's military operation in Ukraine, was detained earlier on July 13, days after being designated a "foreign agent" by authorities. The court fined him 1,000 rubles.
