A relatively well-known Russian-Israeli travel blogger who is also a Ukrainian passport holder has been extradited from Belarus to Azerbaijan for visiting a territory that fell under the de facto control of Azerbaijan’s neighbour, Armenia, following a war between the two countries that began while they were both part of the Soviet Union. He faces eight years in jail.
If it isn’t already clear, it should be said now that this is a story that gets very complicated, very quickly.
In drafting this report Global Voices owes a debt to another, better-known Russian blogger: Ilya Varlamov, who put together a fantastic ‘What Do We Know?’ type-piece when Aleksandr Lapshin, a travel blogger who claims to have visited 122 different countries, was still in detention in Belarus in January.
