Russian court fines ex-candidate for Navalny slogan T-shirt under extremism law

A Kostroma court fined former Yabloko candidate Andrey Tarasov 1,000 rubles for wearing a T-shirt with Navalny's 'party of crooks and thieves' slogan, citing Article 20.3 on extremist symbols. This continues Russia's pattern of using administrative fines to suppress opposition expression, with the low fine indicating routine enforcement rather than a major escalation.
