TL;DR Summary

A Russian court has sentenced a single father to two years in jail for discrediting the military after his 13-year-old daughter drew an antiwar picture in art class at school. The father, Alexei Moskalyov, escaped from house arrest on Monday night, opting not to wait for the almost-certain guilty verdict after the state prosecutor demanded the two-year jail term on Monday. Moskalyov was charged in December over antiwar posts on social media. His daughter was seized by authorities and placed in an orphanage.
