Russian-American ballerina Ksenia Karelina has pleaded guilty to treason charges after she was arrested for donating money to a charity supporting Ukraine.
Russian prosecutors are seeking a 15-year sentence after the security services accused Ms Karelina of collecting money that was used to purchase tactical supplies for the Ukrainian army.
She was detained by authorities in Yekaterinburg, about 1,600km (1,000 miles) east of Moscow after a family visit in February.
The sentence comes one week after Russia and the West carried out the largest prisoner exchange since the Cold War, where 24 people jailed in seven different countries were exchanged.
Ms Karelina’s lawyer said the prosecutors’ request for a 15-year sentence in a penal colony was too severe as the defendant had cooperated with the investigation.
Mikhail Mushailov also said it was “impossible” for Ms Karelina to have been included in the recent prisoner exchange, because an exchange can only happen once the court verdict comes into force.

The page you linked talks about privacy, but it makes no mention of abuse by investors or the environmental impact of miners.
Nobody will deny that cryptocurrency is good for privacy, but that doesn’t negate all of its damaging aspects.
Most crypto-currencies are horrible for privacy, as every transaction is public and is permanently linked to a specific wallet. So the only privacy preserving aspect is that it isn’t always easily possible to link a wallet to a person. One slip-up linking a payment to a person (like giving an address to ship for example, having your device confiscated, or you know… exchanging fiat money at a legal exchange) and all your past transactions can be linked to you easily.
Most, Except Monero which the privacy guide link talks about.
You want a stablecoin linked to USD that doesn’t have price manipulation

Modern blockchains use energy efficient proof of stake, not wasteful proof of work.
nano uses very little energy, I’ve heard some claims that it uses less per transaction than SEPA. combine it with the privacy of Monero and now the only problem is volatility.
True, but it beats 15 years in a russian jail.
