Yabloko (Apple) political party leader Sergei Mitrokhin (L) attends a rally in support of Svetlana Davydova, who was detained on suspicion of treason, as a policeman checks the documents of participants near the Federal Security Service headquarters in central Moscow, February 3, 2015. Nine months after Russian activist Svetlana Davydova called the Ukrainian embassy in Moscow to warn that Russian soldiers were making their way to Ukraine, an investigator with an order for her arrest showed up at her door. Her husband, Anatoly Gorlov, said the investigator from the Federal Security Service (FSB), the successor to the Soviet KGB, detained Davydova, a mother of seven living in the western Russian city of Vyazma, on suspicion of treason. The placard reads: “Freedom to Svetlana Davydova!”. (Photo by Sergei Karpukhin/Reuters)
