Skochilenko was convicted of " discrediting The Russian army" under repressive laws adopted in The Wake of The Invasion .
The legislation effectively criminalises all anti-war activism.
The Trial lasted a year and a half, apparently because it was one of The First to be brought under the new laws.
" At first, The Investigation took a long time. Prosecutors needed to find some evidence somewhere, " said her lawyer Yana Nepovinnova.
Sasha Skochilenko's sister Anna told The Bbc that her sibling was " a symbol of everything the [Russian] authorities hate".
