The case of "Network" caused a wide condemnation in Russia, with many protesting against the trials and sentencing.[1] Andrei Kolesnikov from the Carnegie Moscow Center went on to label the story of the "Network" as "the return of Stalinist show trials", referencing the Moscow trials instigated by Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union between 1936 and 1938.[2] According to Amnesty International's representative, the organization itself had never existed;[3] Amnesty International had previously expressed concern about torture and other ill-treatment used by FSB to extract confessions from the defendants.[4] Memorial Society from Moscow also claimed that the whole case was fabricated and politically motivated, and designated the accused as political prisoners.[5]
"Network" is listed as a terrorist group in Russia.[6]
