Putin being presented with honorary taekwondo black belt and uniform\u003cbr/\u003eOn October 16th 2013 a Russian appeals court suspended the sentence given opposition leader and anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny for embezzlement.\u003cbr/\u003eIn July, Navalny was found guilty of heading a group which embezzled 16 million rubles (500,000 US dollars) worth of timber from a state-owned company Kirovles in 2009.\u003cbr/\u003eHe was sentenced to five years in jail, but then freed the next day.\u003cbr/\u003eThe charges against Navalny date back a few years to when he worked as an unpaid adviser to the provincial governor in Kirov, 760 kilometres (470 miles) east of Moscow.\u003cbr/\u003eIn court on October 16th, Navalny said the case was politically motivated.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I would like to bring to the attention of the judges that in the court materials, and pre-trial papers, every page mentions inflicting damage in non-corresponding prices and so on and so on. But there is no evidence of this.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHis co-defendant Pyotr Ofitserov agreed with Navalny.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Witnesses from the prosecution side largely spoke in our favour in some instances,\" he told the court.\u003cbr/\u003eNavalny, a popular blogger and corruption-fighting lawyer, became a well known figure in the opposition during a series of massive protests in Moscow against President Vladimir Putin's re-election to a third presidential term in March 2012.\u003cbr/\u003eSentencing Navalny is the latest move in a multi-pronged crackdown on dissent that followed Putin's inauguration, including arrests of opposition activists and repressive legislation that sharply increased fines for participants in unsanctioned protests and imposed tough new restrictions on non-government organisations.\u003cbr/\u003eRussian opposition leader Alexei Navalny visited an art exhibition on October 16th depicting politically motivated trials, just hours after his own five-year prison sentence was suspended at the Kirov Regional Court. \u003cbr/\u003eNavalny visited the \"Drawing Trial-2\" exhibition in Kirov with his wife Yulia.\u003cbr/\u003eThe exhibition is dedicated to the latest wave of trials of opposition activists who are accused of staging mass disturbances during rallies in May 2012. \u003cbr/\u003eSome drawings are devoted to the trials of Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev, and other prominent cases.\u003cbr/\u003eCommenting on the exhibition, Navalny said:\u003cbr/\u003e\"It is kind of outrageous that political trials have become the subject of artistic works, that there are whole galleries with exhibits dedicated to political trials.\" \u003cbr/\u003eEarlier in the day, a Russian court suspended Navalny's five-year prison sentence, but upheld his conviction for theft that will prevent him from running in future elections.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to current Russian law, even a suspended sentence would eliminate Navalny from political office for life.\u003cbr/\u003eRegardless, his wife, Yulia, said she was relieved by October 16th's ruling. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Personally, I was ready for everything, and I could have come to the exhibition in a slightly different mood, but I'm happy today's trial (of her husband) ended the way it ended,\" she said. \u003cbr/\u003eNavalny was convicted on embezzlement charges and sentenced to five years in prison on July 18, but was released the next day in what some considered a ploy to make the Moscow mayoral race, where he was registered as a candidate, look as competitive as possible. \u003cbr/\u003eNavalny garnered an unexpected 27 per cent of the vote against the Kremlin-backed incumbent. \u003cbr/\u003eHis growing public profile has made it increasingly risky for the Kremlin to put him behind bars.\u003cbr/\u003eRegardless of his own inability to hold office, Navalny, a charismatic speaker with a popular blog, could still prove a vital political force in Russia.\u003cbr/\u003eHe has vowed to wage an active campaign, even if not a candidate himself, in elections for the Moscow city government in September 2014.\u003cbr/\u003eSeveral thousand Russian nationalists rallied in Moscow on November 4th, venting against the migrants they accuse of pushing up the crime rate and taking their jobs. \u003cbr/\u003eAccording to Russian Interior Ministry, some 8,000 people took the streets.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We will get justice and the Caucasian population will get out of here! All of these immigrants will simply leave, and that's all,\" said 23 year-old march participant Richard Sobolev.\u003cbr/\u003eThe protest took place on the national holiday of Unity Day, established in 2005 to replace commemorations of the Bolshevik Revolution.\u003cbr/\u003eMany demonstrators carried Russian imperial flags. \u003cbr/\u003eOne group displayed a banner reading \"Young People Against Tolerance.\" \u003cbr/\u003eThe protesters in a southern neighbourhood of the Russian capital ranged from tough-looking youths to older people.\u003cbr/\u003eAnimosity is strong among nationalists against migrants both from the former Soviet Central Asian republics and non-Slavs from the largely Muslim Russian Caucasus region.\u003cbr/\u003eNovember 4th,'s rally came three weeks after rioters targeted a vegetable warehouse where they believed the killer of an ethnic Russian man was working. \u003cbr/\u003ePolice later rounded up more than 1,000 migrants working at the warehouse.\u003cbr/\u003eSome demonstrators praised the riot and suggested it was backed by the state.\u003cbr/\u003eA UN report in September said Russia has about 11 million migrants. \u003cbr/\u003eThe state news agency RIA-Novosti, however, cited the Federal Migration Service as saying only about 718,000 of them have residency permits.\u003cbr/\u003eTwo British activists who were arrested by Russia following a Greenpeace protest in the Arctic two months ago, were freed on bail on November 21st.\u003cbr/\u003eFrank Hewetson and Iain Rogers were granted bail by the St. Petersburg Kalininsky district court on November 21st.\u003cbr/\u003eHowever, the charges against the activists still stand.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking to media in the courtroom, Iain Rogers said: \"I feel that we should concentrate on what this case is about, it's about drilling in the Arctic.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBrazilian activist Ana Paula Alminhana Maciel became the first of the 30 to be freed after she was released late on November 20th.\u003cbr/\u003eAll of those detained were initially charged with piracy, but investigators later changed the charge to hooliganism. Although a lesser charge, hooliganism carries a potential sentence of seven years. Piracy's maximum is 15.\u003cbr/\u003eBail for each of those released has been set at two (m) million rubles (61,500 US dollars)\u003cbr/\u003eSome of the activists tried to scale an offshore drilling platform owned by the state natural gas giant Gazprom.\u003cbr/\u003eGreenpeace contends Arctic drilling poses potentially catastrophic environmental dangers. But Russia bristles at criticism of its oil\u003cbr/\u003eand gas industry, which is the backbone of the country's economy.\u003cbr/\u003eA Russian jail on November 22nd freed on bail the US captain and three crew members of a Greenpeace ship who were arrested following a protest in Arctic waters two months ago.\u003cbr/\u003eCaptain Peter Willcox was released along with Marco Weber of Switzerland, Anthony Perrett of the United Kingdom and Faiza Oulahsen of the Netherlands, bringing the total number of those freed to 15 of the 30 detained.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter walking out of SIZO-1 pre-trial detention centre in St Petersburg, Willcox said he didn't know yet whether the protest on a Russian oil rig earlier this year had been a success.\u003cbr/\u003e\"If we made people more aware of the dangers of drilling in the Arctic for oil and the unnecessary need for doing it then it was successful, but at this point for me it's very hard to judge,\" he said. \u003cbr/\u003eJudges in St Petersburg this week have granted bail to 26 people who were on the Arctic Sunrise ship, who attempted to board an oil-rig in the Barents Sea as a protest against oil exploration practices in the Arctic. \u003cbr/\u003eLawyers for Greenpeace are filing an appeal for the release of Australian Colin Russell, who was denied bail on Monday.\u003cbr/\u003eBritish activist Anthony Perrett said that he was glad to be out of prison but Greenpeace's mission stays the same.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I don't look on it as a massive victory, you know, the mission that we were here to do is to save the Arctic, and you know, we are no closer to that even though we've been incarcerated so long. So yes, I'm still very concerned for the Arctic but very glad to be outside of the prison,\" he said. \u003cbr/\u003eThe bail rulings in St. Petersburg could moderate the strong international criticism of Russia over the case.\u003cbr/\u003eThe activists still face charges of hooliganism, which can carry sentences of up to seven years.\u003cbr/\u003eA British activist was the latest Greenpeace member to be released on November 25th from the pre-trial detention centre where he was being held in St Petersburg. \u003cbr/\u003ePhil Ball was arrested following an anti-oil drilling protest by Greenpeace in Arctic waters two months ago.\u003cbr/\u003eBall said his release felt \"quite bewildering\" after being held for 67 days. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I'm pleased to be out of there. When I got there I was much more pleased to be out of the previous place which was, you know, a hell hole,\" he told reporters.\u003cbr/\u003eHe expressed his desire to be reunited with the rest of the released activists and move on \"to the next stage, whatever that is.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBall and Russians Dima Litvinov and Roman Dolgov were the last of the 30 crew members to be brought before the court on November 22nd, where they were granted bail at two million (m) rubles (61,500 US dollars).\u003cbr/\u003eThey were initially charged with piracy for protesting at a Russian oil platform in Arctic waters and if convicted would have faced up to 15 years in prison.\u003cbr/\u003eInvestigators have since said they no longer consider the protest to have been piracy, but all 30 still face charges of hooliganism, which could send them to prison for up to seven years.\u003cbr/\u003eGreenpeace lawyers on Sunday were optimistic that the foreigners will be able to leave Russia pending trial, but there has been no indication of how soon this could happen. \u003cbr/\u003eFour of those arrested are Russian citizens, while the rest come from 17 other countries.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Russian coast guard seized the Greenpeace ship, the Arctic Sunrise, the day after the protest, when it was in the high seas and already more than 20 miles (more than 30 kilometres) away from the offshore platform, according to the ship's captain.\u003cbr/\u003eRussian President Vladimir Putin met his Italian counterpart in Rome on November 25th, narrowly avoiding a few dozen people protesting Russia's detention of two members of the punk band \"Pussy Riot\" who tried to block his motorcade.\u003cbr/\u003eThe courtesy call on Giorgio Napolitano came during a busy day in Rome for the Russian leader. \u003cbr/\u003eEarlier, Putin had a 35 minute audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican. \u003cbr/\u003eFrancis gave Putin a ceramic mosaic of the Vatican gardens, and Putin presented Francis with an image of the icon of the Madonna of Vladimir, an important religious icon for the Russian Orthodox faithful.\u003cbr/\u003ePutin then made his way across town to meet Napolitano at the Quirinale presidential palace.\u003cbr/\u003eOutside, protesters - almost entirely young women - wearing colourful masks resembling those worn by the controversial Russian punk group Pussy Riot held banners and chanted slogans denouncing Putin's visit. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We are here today to protest against the presence of Putin in Italy, because Putin is homophobic, Putin imprisoned Pussy Riot. We want freedom for Pussy Riot and we want also to fight against homophobia,\" explained one protester, Eleonora Forenza.\u003cbr/\u003eThree members of the punk band were convicted of hooliganism following a performance against Putin in Moscow's main cathedral last year.\u003cbr/\u003eLater on November 25th, Putin arrived for dinner at the Rome residence of three-time premier and old friend Silvio Berlusconi.\u003cbr/\u003eBerlusconi promised a fully Italian dinner for Putin, whom he has entertained before at his Sardinian estate.\u003cbr/\u003eThe reunion was sure to buoy Berlsuconi's spirits: The Italian Senate is due to vote on Wednesday on whether to kick him out of Parliament following his tax fraud conviction.\u003cbr/\u003ePutin travels north to Trieste on November 26th for a meeting with Premier Enrico Letta.\u003cbr/\u003ePresident Vladimir Putin announced on December 19th that he will pardon jailed oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky after more than a decade in prison.\u003cbr/\u003ePutin told reporters at a news conference that Khodorkovsky submitted an appeal for pardon and he intends to grant it.\u003cbr/\u003eHe said that Khodorkovsky has \"spent more than 10 years in prison. It's a serious term.\" He added that he will be granted pardon \"in the nearest time.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe move appeared to be part of Putin's effort to assuage international criticism of his rule ahead of the Winter Olympics in Sochi that start in February.\u003cbr/\u003eThe final member of the band Pussy Riot to be released from prison said on December 22nd she doesn't regret the performance which landed her in jail.\u003cbr/\u003eNadezhda Tolokonnikova, speaking in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, said she didn't think her time in prison was wasted and paid tribute to all those who supported her.\u003cbr/\u003e\"If I have reached something, it is of course my achievement,\" she said. \"It is also an achievement of the people that have supported me and didn't allow me to die in information isolation.\"\u003cbr/\u003eTolokonnikova also said she wants to use her experiences in prison to achieve something positive. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I'm not a person who tries to remake her past,\" she said. \"I work with it. I hope that I will try to use my past for something good today.\"\u003cbr/\u003eEarlier on December 22nd, another band member, Maria Alekhina, was released from a prison colony outside the city of Nizhny Novgorod. \u003cbr/\u003eThe two, who were due for release in March, qualified for amnesty because they have small children.\u003cbr/\u003eRussia's Supreme Court earlier this month ordered a review of the Pussy Riot case, saying that a lower court did not fully prove their guilt and did not take their family circumstances into consideration when reaching the verdict.\u003cbr/\u003eThe released members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot announced their future plans at a news conference in Moscow on December 27th.\u003cbr/\u003eMaria Alekhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova were serving two years in prison on charges of hooliganism for an irreverent anti-Kremlin protest at Moscow's main cathedral in 2012, but were freed last week as part of an amnesty.\u003cbr/\u003eAlekhina and Tolokonnikova said they will continue with their activism and will set up a human rights organisation aimed at helping prisoners in Russia.\u003cbr/\u003eAlekhina said their organisation will help ex-convicts to adjust to life outside of prison.\u003cbr/\u003e\"People absolutely have no idea what is going on in prisons. And the worst thing is that the majority of people are not even interested in it. Nowadays, it is more convenient to exclude a person with a conviction, one who was in prison. And that person has difficulties finding a job. People move the prison topic away from their lives,\" Alekhina told journalists gathered for a news conference at Optimistic Channel (Russia's independent television channel, also known as 'Dozhd'). \u003cbr/\u003e\"If we want a decrease in the crime rate, if we want thousands of people to be released, not with thoughts about repeated offences, but with constructive ones, then we must work on it, and this is our job. The authorities will not do it.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBoth women were granted amnesty in a move largely viewed as the Kremlin's attempt to soothe criticism of Russia's human rights record before the Sochi Games in February.\u003cbr/\u003eRussian President Vladimir Putin received an honorary black belt from the World Taekwondo Federation at the end of his visit to South Korea.\u003cbr/\u003eChoue Chung-won, the head of the World Taekwondo Federation, presented Putin with a certificate and a taekwondo uniform at a ceremony in Seoul on November 13th.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile the taekwondo grade is symbolic, Putin has earned a black belt in judo, another martial arts disciplines.\u003cbr/\u003eThe federation officials said they awarded Putin the ninth degree black belt title in recognition of his efforts to foster sports in Russia.\u003cbr/\u003eThe same federation awarded United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon a 10th degree black belt in taekwondo.\u003cbr/\u003eRussia has recently
