What New York Times wrote about Pavlensky in January 2017: Now Pavlensky faces up to 10 years in French prison. I wonder, would he ask Russia to grant him the new asylum? The Russian asylum from French asylum? As "Putin's bloody regime" sentenced him only to half a year in prison and allowed to leave the country. Meanwhile there is no reason to expect the same mercy from France authorities.
the hypocrisy from Western authorities and their servile media is abominable... how sick, dastardly, vile and degenerate you must be to describe the rightful investigation as "horrible dream that you can’t even imagine" besides delaying to publicise the second arson incident only because it occurred in another country, not the one you wanted to smear.
worst of all, however, this isn't the only case, of course; the entire world history was falsified by western 'scholars' using same dirty tricks over and over again.
To be fair, the NYT just translated the Pavlensky's words in this case. But the whole article is written with uncovered sympathy to the insane man, they mentioned "Soviet-style censorship", "psychiatric evaluations, long used to quash political dissent" and other cliches. Doesn't matter what really happens, these Russia haters use every moment to throw mud at Russia.
No suprise. Frech officials should have thought a bit before granting a residence permit to this idiot who make on fire whatever he does not like. But I assume that French prison is much better than a Russian one, so he should be happy.
