In Putin’s Russia you can get sent to the gulag for blowing up a building – on Minecraft.

In Russia, video games are unsafe for kids. But not for the usual reasons The Supreme Court has upheld the prison sentence of a teen for playing Minecraft

On January 17, 2023, the Russian Supreme court upheld the 5-year jail sentence that Nikita Uvarov received for playing Minecraft when he was 16.

[ ... ]

After arresting the boys, the police confiscated their phones and later claimed they found chats in the phones where friends planned to add the FSB building to the Minecraft game and blow it up there. The FSB is the Federal security service in Russia, a law enforcement structure that is the successor of the KGB.

The investigators also stated that the boys criticized the FSB, read banned books, made DIY firecrackers, and blew them up in abandoned buildings in their native town, Kansk in the Krasnoyarsk krai of Russia.

Days before his trial in 2022, Nikita and his mom talked to Insider media about fabrications in his case. There is a website dedicated to the Kansk teenagers case, and a Telegram channel.  Nikita Uvarov will be transferred to a prison for adults once he turns 18 years old.

If Putin is worried about kids blowing up the secret police building on Minecraft, he’s even more paranoid and delusional than anybody in the West had previously suspected.

Putin is a war criminal who is the one who really needs to be locked up – for good.
