LIMASSOL Aug 18 — Russian anti-war activists in Cyprus have vowed to continue holding protests against the invasion of Ukraine despite, they say, becoming the target of a threat after their faces appeared on a billboard site draped in black ribbons.
“Its a memorial for people. In Russia its very common to make threats like this,” said one of those depicted, Evgenii Elesin, 38, one of thousands of Russians living in Cyprus. Russia denies trying to kill Navalny, who is serving jail time for parole violations, fraud and contempt of court. He says all charges against him were fabricated.
