Alexei Moskalyov charged with ‘discrediting Russian army’, while daughter punished for drawing rockets fired at Ukraine family
A Russian man has been detained for making anti-war statements and his 12-year-old daughter temporarily taken into state care after the family faced pressure from authorities for drawings the girl made at school depicting Russia bombing a family inAlexei Moskalyov, a single parent from the town of Yefremov, 150 miles south of Moscow, has been arrested for making anti-war statements on Odnoklassniki, a Russian social network.
“That would be a blow to a girl who has lived with her father her whole life,” he told the Guardian by telephone. “So tomorrow we’re going to do everything possible to ensure that her father remains free. And so that she can live at home with him.” Later that month, Moskalyov was told that agents from Russia’s FSB security service had come to the school and were questioning his daughter. When he arrived, he“For three and a half hours they told me that I was raising a child incorrectly: they said they would take her away from me, and they would put me in jail,” Moskalyov said in the interview with OVD-Info.
In the Moskalyovs’ case, FSB agents suggested his daughter “lead some youth team in support of the Russian troops, but I gently refused – she has a lot of classes and clubs, there is no time left,” the father said. Since last year, Russia has ordered an overhaul of patriotic education, including the introduction of “conversations about important topics” at school that are seen as vehicles to indoctrinate students.
