The PDN Commission will not limit the rights of Masha Moskaleva’s parents

The Juvenile Affairs Commission refused the claim to restrict the parental rights of the father and mother of Masha Moskaleva – the girl who drew the anti-war picture. The head of the commission, Svetlana Davydova, stated this according to the publication “Meduza”. According to her, the shortcomings mentioned in the lawsuit have already been eliminated.

Earlier, the official stated that the Moskalyov family has been on the “prophylactic register of families in a socially dangerous situation” since May 2022. Masha’s father was twice brought to administrative responsibility and allegedly made no attempt to return her daughter to school, while the girl’s mother lived separately and was not interested in her life, the commission said.

Now, according to Davydova, Masha Moskaleva lives with her mother, Olga Sytchikhina, and the guardianship authorities have no complaints against her.

Refusal of the claim against both parents does not exclude the possibility of filing a new claim to limit the parental rights of one of them – for example, Masha’s father, Alexei Moskalev, who was sentenced to two years in prison for the so-called discrediting of the Russian army.

• In the spring of 2022, 12-year-old Masha made an anti-war drawing in class at school. The school principal contacted the police. The Moskalyovs’ apartment was searched.
• Masha’s father, Alexey Moskalyov, raised his daughter alone. The mother, Olga Sytchikhina, had not spoken to them for a long time.
• In the father’s social networks, the police found comments in support of Ukraine, as well as caricatures of Russian President Vladimir Putin. After that, Alexey Moskalyov was first reported under the article of the Administrative Code on the discrediting of the Russian army, fined 32 thousand rubles, and then a criminal case was opened on the same charge. After Moskalyov’s arrest, his daughter was sent to an orphanage, and then given to her mother, who expressed her readiness to “break” her 13-year-old daughter’s thoughts about politics.
• Alexey Moskalyov was sentenced to two years in prison on charges of discrediting the Russian army. The verdict was handed down in absentia, since, according to the judge, Moskalyov escaped from house arrest the night before the trial. He was later found in Belarus and extradited to Russia.
