A 60-year-old Russian woman was given a two-year suspended prison sentence on Thursday for leaving a note with an “offensive inscription” on the grave of President Vladimir Putin’s parents, independent news portals reported on Thursday.
Prosecutors had wanted a three-year suspended prison sentence for Irina Tsybaneva, who in October was accused of desecrating a grave in St. Petersburg with a note describing Putin’s mother and father as “maniac parents”.
“Death to Putin, you raised a freak and a murderer,” the letter read, urging the deceased parents to “take him with them.”

According to the SOTA news service, Tsybaneva doesn’t plan to appeal the verdict.
She said she wrote the note after watching the news about the war in Ukraine and “understood that the whole lot may be very scary, the whole lot may be very sad and there are various dead”, according to one other news website, Mediazona.
