Was she just sentenced to 6 years in prison?[edit]
A Olga Smirnova was sentenced to 6 years in prison in Russia for anti-war activism on the internet. Was it another Olga Smirnova? I don't want to add any sources to the article until this is resolved. 47.145.107.214 (talk) 17:27, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
