This boy is 16 years old. He’s been sentenced to a 5-year jail term because when he was 14 he and his friends were playing Minecraft in a way the government doesn’t like. They built a structure (in Minecraft, not in reality) that resembled a federal building and joked about blowing it up. In Minecraft, not in reality. They didn’t blow it up, in Minecraft or in reality but the authorities found out that the boys were doing very well in chemistry at school. Which must mean they are preparing terrorist attacks. So they got arrested on terrorism charges.
The boy’s name is Nikita Uvarov, and this is all taking place in Russia. Nikita is one of thousands of very young boys who, in recent years, were arrested on these kinds of charges, often beaten, tortured, raped, and jailed over pretty much nothing.
They all have something in common. They are very young, usually between 13 and 17 years of age. And there’s something else. Look at this boy’s face. What does his appearance tell you?
Yes, he’s ethnically Russian. The authorities are waging a war on these boys to make room for the replacement population, which speaks no or little Russian and is very easy to exploit and get to vote as needed. The crime rates – especially in what concerns sex crimes – among the replacement population are sky-high but the police are distracted by its hunt for Minecraft-playing boys who do well in school and like chemistry.
At trial, Nikita said, “If I’m convicted, I’ll serve my time with dignity because my conscience is clear. I did nothing wrong. I simply had friends and spent time with them.”

Replaced with who? Russian population is collapsing and nobody really wants to move there.

“Replaced with who? ”
Mostly central Asians (and maybe… Chinese)?

Didn’t see this comment when I responded but exactly. This is a huge HUGE issue in Russia, especially because of its impact on education and sex crimes.

Replacing Russians with Chinese doesn’t sound like a smart strategy. Then China can make claims same way Russia does.
Honestly, it just seems Russians plain just don’t value themselves.

They are absolutely in a self-immolation cycle. It’s scary to watch.

Oh, you’ll be surprised. There is an enormous influx of Central Asians – Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, etc – into Russia. Half of first-graders in Moscow speak little or no Russian. Sex crimes are exploding because these are cultures with a very different view as to the role of women in society. Russian nationalists have been howling at the moon for 15 years, begging Putin to establish a visa regime with these countries. But the border is wide open. Then there is an issue of the enormous Chinese population coming in from China and effectively annexing large portions of Siberia.

Which is very bad for Russia. It already is China’s junior partner.
