Russian opposition figure detained after returning to Moscow

MOSCOW (AP) — The Russian authorities have detained a liberal politician who has recently returned to Moscow from abroad, the latest move in a relentless crackdown on dissent amid Moscow’s military action in Ukraine. Leonid Gozman was detained Monday after the Interior Ministry issued a warrant for his arrest while investigating a criminal case against him. Gozman has been accused of breaching the law that requires Russian citizens to notify authorities about a foreign citizenship or a residency permit. If found guilty, Gozman could be sentenced to a fine or community work. Gozman, a vocal critic of the Kremlin’s campaign in Ukraine, left Russia when it started but returned in June in what he described as a “moral” choice.
