This sounds like an extremely uncharitable interpretation of what (if genuine) is a very brave thing to do.

For some further information: Marina Ovsyannikova has been charged with "organizing an unauthorized public event" [0]. The punishment can be a fine, community service or up to 10 days in jail.

So she seems to not be charged with the new law that could land her 15 years in prison.

Corroboration of the theory that it was staged? Or a sign that Russia is slowly allowing more people to speak out against the war? Or something completely different? I truly do not know what to believe these days.
