It's mind boggling how much if a pussy Putin is.
Putting his tiny penis on display for all..
How dare you mention Putin and tiny penises in the same breath. That is an affront to tiny penises.
2 years gulag for a 72yo man is likely a death sentence.
I’m sure this will have no consequences for Russia’s future.
They have no future at this point, so no.
Alexey Soldatov, 72, sentenced by Moscow court to death.
Article says that it's probably related to a fight over the .SU (Soviet Union) TLD. Alexey refused to turn it over when The Kremlin asked for it.
I don't have any insights, but from the artiicles I've read earlier I'd guess it's more about taking him as a hostage to silence his son, a journalist writing about infosec and a person non-grata in Russia.
The SU tld is equal to what other countries know under the CC domain. No legitimate site uses that and I can't say I've seen any SU link in ten+ years browsing ru-net. If that's what they pinned on him, well, the level of fabrication is laughable. Unlike the fate of an old guy put into a joint over these stupid accusations.
Kim Jong Putin
At my house we prefer to call him Хуйло (who-y-low, a dick-thing), but there are a lot of more sound and humiliating variations.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
