evidence: There is a sliding scale of punishment depending on how seriously the Kremlin feels the "fake news" being shared is. The law says that people who use their position to spread fake information or distribute fake news with falsified evidence could be jailed for between 5 and 10 years. Calling for people to attend anti-war protests in Russia could see you spending five years in jail, while supporting calls for sanctions against the Kremlin will now carry a penalty of up to three years in a forced labor camp. "If the fakes lead to serious consequences then imprisonment of up to 15 years threatens," the Duma said in a statement.
