Googling his name reveals a list of other highly reputable sources, such as Metro.co.uk, and instagram. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if the kid simply doesn't exist.
You're right to be skeptical, the source is RFA/Radio Svoboda and their article also mentions that Memorial calls him a political prisoner, and it's an "international human rights society" (another NGO) where two of its founders wrote for RFA or were caught (and admitted to) receiving funding from foreign sources. There needs to be more information before baselessly parroting such propaganda.
By all means, reveal the evidence that was presented which you claim is being suppressed. I have no problems admitting I'm wrong in the face of substantiated evidence.
Well I mean, if msn.com know that no evidence was presented there has to be a source for that right? Like amnesty international or something. Anything other than these very trustworthy, word-for-word identical, self-referencing articles that have appeared in the last 5 days.
I could take it all at face value, but then I used to do that back when we were invading Iraq and Afghanistan, and it turned out that 99% of what I was reading was utter bullshit designed to manufacture my consent for illegal wars and western imperialism.
Although it does also mention the case was also about him joining a terrorist organisation which was planning an attack on Russian rail infrastructure.
Says msn.com, that highly reputable web tabloid.

Best I could find, myself not being fluent in Russian, is this human rights/legal organization still operating in Russia proper which describes the conviction as a result of delivering homemade fliers saying 'do we really need this kind of President'.
Much better source.
