Please, be a bit critical before you post nonsense. Of course this Pokemon player won't serve in jail. At most he will get a verbal reprimand, nothing else.

This clickbait article make it sound as if he already got his sentence.

In theory they might in Russia have punishment of up to several years in jail for desecrating a church.

But I dont think even Pussy riot got a long time in jail for their attack on a church.

Maybe not 5 years, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him spend weeks and maybe even months in jail. I read some posts on Reddit where Russians discuss about how one can get punished harshly for very minor things.

Yeah, it's a crazy country. I just wanted to prevent people coming into the thread taking those 5 years at face value.

Obviously even weeks in jail for playing Pokemon in a church would be disgusting for a country that calls itself democratic. I hope in this case the auforities are accusing him for more than just playing Pokemon.
