Russian opposition politician Yevgeny Roizman was fined 260,000 roubles ($3,245) on Friday after a court found him guilty of "discrediting" the Russian army, Russian news agencies reported.
Roizman, a former mayor of Russia's fourth-largest city of Yekaterinburg, was detained last August and banned from the internet after he referred to Moscow's actions in Ukraine as a "war" in a YouTube video.
