On July 22, a court in Petrozavodsk sentenced historian Yuri Dmitriev to three and a half years in prison on charges of sexually assaulting his underage foster daughter. The court acquitted him of felony charges for allegedly creating child pronography and illegally owning a firearm. Given the time Dmitriev has already served in pretrial detention, he should go free in November of this year. Dmitriev did not plead guilty to any of the charges.
