Russian court restricts palliative care fund founder Moniava in 'fakes' case; trustees silent

A Moscow court imposed restrictions on Lida Moniava, founder of children's palliative fund 'Dom s Mayakom', in a criminal case under Article 207.3 (spreading 'fakes' about the Russian army). Notably, most fund trustees have not publicly supported her, a deviation from typical solidarity, suggesting fear of legal repercussions or reputational distancing. This signals a chilling effect on civil society and NGO leadership in Russia.
