Israeli-Russian Woman Jailed in Moscow for Donation Faces Unforeseen Legal Turn

Israeli-Russian Woman Jailed in Moscow for Donation Faces Unforeseen Legal Turn

Sofya Rosenfeld, an Israeli-Russian citizen, was sentenced to three and a half years in prison in Moscow for a small donation to an organization founded by Alexei Navalny. Her family and lawyers have been unable to contact her since her October 7 arrest and sentencing, describing her detention as a "black hole." The case has drawn parallels to other instances involving dual citizens and political charges in Russia, including the 2019 case of Naama Issachar. The sentencing also follows comments by Dmitry Medvedev about potentially expanding Russia's pool of foreign detainees for exchanges.

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Review: Long Battery Life, Weak Performance

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Review: Long Battery Life, Weak Performance

Xiaomi's Redmi Note 17 Pro Max features a 10,000 mAh battery that lasts over two and a half days, exceeding expectations. However, its performance is hampered by an 8GB RAM configuration and a Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 processor, leading to a less-than-smooth experience, especially in demanding applications. The device offers a large screen, basic cameras, and AI features, but its hardware limitations prevent it from being a top-tier mid-range option despite its impressive battery life. The phone is priced at around 2,200 NIS.
