Olga Slegina, 70, was hit with a fine of about $500 on April 18 in Moscow for a remark she made about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Daily Mail reported. While speaking with another woman in Nalchik, Slegina called Zelenskyy, 45, a “handsome young man” with a “good sense of humor.” That’s a no-no in Russia; the Code of Administrative Offenses, introduced in March 2022, characterized her comment as “discrediting” the Russian military. Slegina was unable to attend the trial because of health reasons.
