In April 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, an anti-war drawing by Maria Moskalyova (better known as Masha, a hypocorism of her given name), a sixth-grader in the Russian town of Yefremov, led to the political persecution of the girl and her single father Aleksey Moskalyov. The father was charged with discrediting the Russian military, and the girl was separated from her father and sent to a local orphanage. On 28 March 2023, a Russian court sentenced Aleksey to two years in prison.[1] This is the first time in the Russian Federation that a court, after imprisoning a parent for political reasons, left the child without a guardian.[1]
