In Russia you can end up behind bars for your wifi name.

A student has been sentenced to 10 days in jail in Moscow after renaming his wi-fi network with a pro-Kyiv slogan. The Moscow State University student had titled the network "Slava Ukraini!" which means "Glory to Ukraine!". A Moscow court found him guilty of displaying "symbols of extremist organisations" on Thursday. Since the start of Russia's war in Ukraine, thousands have been handed prison terms or fines for criticising the invasion or supporting Ukraine. The student was arrested on Wednesday morning in Moscow, after a police officer had reported the network name to authorities. According to court documents, officers inspected his room within the university's student accommodation, and found his personal computer and a wi-fi router. The court said he had used the network to "promote the slogan 'Slava Ukraini!' to an unlimited number of users within wi-fi range." The router has now been confiscated. "Slava Ukraini" has become a rallying cry for supporters of Ukraine, and is regularly heard chanted during protests against Russia's full-scale invasion, which it launched on 24 February, 2022. The student was found guilty of "public demonstration of Nazi symbolism... or symbols of extremist organisations". Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly made baseless claims about a "neo-Nazi regime" in Ukraine, and used it to justify his invasion. The student is the latest in a long list of ordinary Russians who have been punished for their comments - or actions - about the war.

Yes, Putin's totalitarian state even has agents checking wifi names for the slightest hint of opposition to the régime. That's how insecure Putin feels.

For our readers in Russia, here are some other wifi names you could substitute for the apparently offensive Slava Ukraini [Слава Украине/Слава Україні].

Ура трёхдневной спецоперации! [Hurray for the 3-day special operation!]

диктаторы злые [dictators are evil]

СССР – мертв. Смирись с этим. [The USSR is dead. Get over it.]

Путин хуйло [Putin's a dickhead]

Путин – иди на хуй! [Putin – go fuck yourself!]

Зеленский круче Путина [Zelenskyy is cooler than Putin]

You might get away with #1 if they don't understand that you're being sarcastic about Putin's war nearing Day 750. #2 is risky but if they do arrest you then you could accuse them of implying that Putin is a dictator. #3 is tempting fate because Putin considers the collapse of the USSR to be the greatest catastrophe of the 20th century. #4 and #5 are only worth trying if you want to end up in Navalny's old cell in an Arctic gulag. #6 would keep you in that gulag until the return of Halley's Comet.

If you live outside Russia but have a home or workplace near pro-Putin Russians or a Russian diplomatic office, it would be great fun to use some of those there.
