MOSCOW: Many Russian celebrities took to social media on Tuesday to condemn what they said was the brazenly unjust jailing of a novice actor over an opposition protest and demanded that the authorities release him from prison.
Ustinov's cause was taken up by celebrities such as TV star Maxim Galkin and popular singer Sergey Lazarev who shared their anger with millions of followers on Instagram. "You can clearly see in the video of his arrest that he didn't resist the... police," actor Alexander Pal said on Instagram."This is an entirely fabricated case."
Some Moscow theatres issued calls for him to be freed following performances on Monday evening. Ustinov studied acting and has played minor roles in films.
