It seems to be reported as bad news in the western press, which is at least an interesting data point. I don't know this guy or his left front, though.
It looks to me like the western press is reporting this as bad news because it fits their "Putin = dictator" narrative. Every article I'm seeing goes something like "anti-Putin activist jailed, says charges against him are fabricated," etc.
