Silicon Bites - #27 - Authoritarian Franchise Opens in Serbia - is Russia the McDonald's of Tyranny?

Edition No27 | 08-12-2023
A branch of the pro-Russian organization "Other Ukraine," founded by the
exiled Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk, was registered in Serbia.
Medvedchuk, who was long thought to be Russian dictator Putin’s
right-hand man in Ukraine, was charged with high treason and placed
under house arrest in 2021, only to flee as Russia launched its
full-scale invasion. He was subsequently re-arrested in April 2022. In
September, he was handed over to Russia as part of a prisoner exchange.

The Serbian branch of the organization is headed by Dragan Stanojevic, a
Serbian politician and public figure known for his pro-Russian,
anti-Ukrainian views. Stanojevic was sanctioned by Ukraine in 2021 and
banned from entering the country.
