A 60-year-old woman was sent under house arrest on Wednesday by a St. Petersburg court on charges of desecrating graves, the independent Russian publication Meduza reported. Iryna Tsybaneva was detained earlier this week after she left a note on the grave of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s parents asking those who gave him life to “take him home”.

Irina Tsybaneva was put under house arrest, accused of trespassing on graves, leaving a note at the burial place of Putin’s parents. According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, the maximum penalty is five years of imprisonment.

The 60-year-old St. Petersburg woman was accused of going to the grave of Putin’s parents on October 6 and leaving a message: “Parents of a maniac, take him home, he has caused so much pain and trouble, everyone is praying for his death. Death to Putin, you raised a bastard and a criminal.”

The security guard reported the ticket and contacted the authorities. Police identified Iryna Shibaneva earlier this week after seeing images from several surveillance cameras at the cemetery.

Iryna Shibanyeva admitted that she left the note, and the police conducted a DNA test, which confirmed that the paper had traces of the woman’s skin, and a graphological examination, which proved that it was written by a Russian woman, and a linguistic examination concluded that the Note contained ” negative assessment of Russian President Vladimir Putin”.

This is not the first ticket to the grave of Putin’s parents

It is not clear how Irina Tsybaneva managed to get to the grave of Vladimir Putin and Maria Putina, the parents of the Kremlin head, as security was increased at the cemetery in late September after activist Anastasia Filippova posted a small poster that read: “Dear parents! Your son is behaving badly! Walking around history lessons, fights with classmates, threatens to blow up the whole school! Act!”

At the court hearing, Shibaneva said that she made such a gesture because she had just watched the play and “understood that everything is very scary, everything is very sad, that many people died.”

The prosecutor’s office asked for preliminary arrest for Shibaneva, because “she is suspected of a crime, the public danger of which is the image of the memory of the dead, the dead, the feelings of the living towards the dead.”

The judge placed Shibaneva under house arrest until November 8, 2022, prohibiting her from using the Internet, telephone and mail.
