Russian Charged With Discrediting Military Over Dyed Hair.
Moscow resident Stanislav Netyosov was charged with discrediting the Russian military after he dyed his hair blue and yellow, which police considered support for Ukraine due to its national flag of the same colors. Netyosov was charged on April 28 after he came to a police station to file a complaint saying he was attacked the previous evening by unknown assailants who broke his tooth and stole his telephone. Police also fingerprinted Netyosov and handed him a summons to a military recruitment center, saying they would "teach him to kiss his native land in the military trenches."
