I honestly don’t know whether this belongs among the greatest hits or just the same old worn-out record everyone is already sick of.

But "Kremlflix" has started streaming season two of the "Kirovles" series. The same courtroom, the same prosecutors, the same bailiffs, the same Nashi activists (members of a pro-Kremlin youth movement) outside the courthouse. Only the judge has been replaced.

Of course, we filed a motion to terminate the criminal prosecution. These proceedings are simply impossible and absurd after we won at the European Court of Human Rights in the first case, and the Presidium of the Supreme Court of Russia agreed with that.

The prosecution asked for half an hour. So we’re sitting here, waiting.

A live stream of the court hearing is available here.
