Gozman was accused of breaching the law that requires Russian citizens to notify authorities about a foreign citizenship or a residency permit.

Seems like this was the actual reason for the arrest. Site_rly_sux lying as usual.

At least click the link if you're going to accuse

A Moscow court has handed a 15-day prison sentence to Leonid Gozman, a liberal Russian politician with Israeli citizenship who drew parallels between Soviet dictator Josef Stalin’s regime and Nazi Germany.

Gozman, 72, was sentenced over a 2020 Facebook post mocking Russian legislation that banned likening the Soviet Union to Nazi Germany.

Nowhere did I say why police initially made contact. I told you that the state is locking him up for speech concerning Stalin. I was correct and you are wrong
