Masha, 12, is now in a children's home after Russian authorities placed her father under house arrest.
"Return Masha to her father!" The images there remind me of the patriotic wall I saw in the centre of town. "The Russian authorities want everyone to toe the line. "Everything in the flat reminds him of her. The Yefremov Juvenile Affairs Commission is taking legal action to officially restrict Alexei's parental rights. The family's problems only began after the girl drew that picture." They should have invited Masha, too, and spoken to her," Vladimir says. Under the rules of his house arrest Alexei is only permitted contact with his lawyer, the investigator and the penitentiary service. To the left is a Ukrainian flag with the words "Glory to Ukraine"; on the right, the Russian tricolour and the inscription "No to war!" "And they told him that he was bringing up his daughter in a bad way." Giant photographs of masked Russian soldiers with guns and supersized letters Z and V - symbols of the country's so-called "special military operation" in Ukraine. His daughter Masha has - for now - been sent to a children's home.
