Sasha Skochilenko: the artist who was sentenced to 7 years for anti-war price tags

Sasha Skochilenko, 33, is an artist and musician from St. Petersburg. She graduated the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences of the St. Petersburg university cum laude, worked as an illustrator, photographer, cinematographer, editor, construction worker. But her real passion has always been music, art—and fighting for humane attitudes toward people who are facing mental challenges.

A month into Russia’s full-scale invasion in Ukraine, on 31 March 2022, Sasha came to a supermarket on Vasilyevsky Island and swapped five price tags for stickers with completely different numbers: data on deaths and destruction of the war. Skochilenko was sentenced to 7 years for spreading “fake news” about the Russian army, even though doctors warned: Sasha may die in prison.
