A Russian judge who showed leniency toward two teenagers charged with plotting to overthrow the government has reportedly been forced to resign after a topless selfie of her was obtained by superiors who were critical of her ruling.
A spokeswoman for the Moscow City Court told RIA Novosti on May 15 that Judge Irina Devayeva resigned from the capital's Dorogomilov district court "at her own request." But other Russian media have noted that the photo scandal comes after Devayeva faced pressure and criticism following her August 2018 decision to transfer two teens accused of belonging to an alleged extremist group from detention to house arrest.
Devayeva's ruling to release 18-year-old Anna Pavlikova and 19-year old Maria Dubovik came after protesters organized a "Mothers March" on August 15 during which many participants carried stuffed animals to highlight the young age of the detainees.
Pavlikova and Dubovik were arrested in March 2018, along with eight others and held on extremism charges that they had turned their online chat criticizing the government into a political movement called New Greatness.

It was revealed that the man who proposed the idea of forming the movement, written its charter, and rented premises for its gatherings was a special agent of the Federal Security Service (FSB). Supporters at the time said Pavlikova and Dubovik had been framed by the authorities.
Citing unidentified sources, the news website Znak reported that Devayeva found herself at odds with two judicial superiors following her decision to transfer the teens to house arrest, and was ultimately forced out by them after they obtained the topless photo.
Znak identified the two superiors as Olga Bykovskaya, chairwoman of the Dorogomilov district court, and Olga Yegorova, chairwoman of the Moscow City Court.
According to Znak, an unidentified source who was present when Devayeva's dismissal was discussed by the Moscow City Court said that Devayeva's mobile phone had "presumably" been hacked, and the image stolen.
The source said the photo had been taken "long before Devayeva became a judge" in 2016. The source told Znak that the image had never been transferred from the phone, and had never been published on social media.
Любопытно, как устроена слежка за судьями. Кто и по чьему приказу взломал айфон Деваевой и отправил "неприличное" фото председателю Мосгорсуда, которая, как известно, не терпит никакого разврата. https://t.co/HtnoYKPXg4 pic.twitter.com/LTZ1hcOR04
During the hearing, according to the source, Yegorova shouted that she would "never allow such depravity among the judges."
The Moscow qualifications panel for judges noted that the termination of Devayeva's judicial powers was discussed on March 29.
An e-mail sent by RFE/RL to the Moscow City Court requesting comment on the circumstances of Devayeva's resignation went unanswered by the time of publication of this article.
On social media, some suggested Devayeva was paying the price for failing to toe the Kremlin line. "The system pushes out the honest," Yelena Rusakova wrote on Facebook .
Others said it was Devayeva who had been victimized, with her phone allegedly hacked to access the incriminating photos.
"Hacking a phone is not an offense, no? And what about the right to privacy? Or did the old Soviet hypocrisy never disappear? Or is it just that the phrase 'honest judge' is now an oxymoron?" asked Eugenia Dimant on Facebook .
Another Facebook user, Nikolai Podosokorskiy, suggested that technology might be making it easier for authorities to push aside dissent. "How easy it turned out to end the career of an inconvenient individual in Russia. All it takes is hacking their phone or filming them with a hidden camera -- or easier yet, showing intimate photos to the bosses."
The case against New Greatness was part of what some experts called a " disturbing development " in the rising number of extremism cases in Russia in 2018.
"Law enforcement agencies have opened numerous extremism cases against not only opposition activists but also ordinary citizens," Andrei Pertsev, a journalist with Russia's Kommersant business daily, wrote on the Carnegie Moscow Center website on August 30, 2018.

A Russian judge has been forced to resign over a topless picture of her, months after showing leniency towards two anti-Putin teenagers in a court case.
Irina Devayeva has stood down after her mobile phone was seemingly hacked and the naked image stolen from it.
The official line is that she left the court 'at her own request' but there are concerns she may have been targeted by the Kremlin over the earlier case.
By releasing the two teenagers from custody last year - after they were accused of plotting to overthrow Vladimir Putin 's government - she may have been seen as rebelling against the Kremlin's line, it is feared.

According to Znak , the topless photo was taken well before Devayeva beame a judge in Moscow's Dorogomilovsky court.
She had never shared it from her phone or published it on social media, it is reported.
The earlier controversy surrounded 18-year-old Anna Pavlikova and 19-year-old Maria Dubovik, who were released from custody last year.
The pair faced charges of creating an extremist group aiming to overthrow Vladimir Putin's government.

They and eight other suspects had been arrested in March 2018.
Defence lawyers asserted that undercover police agents had written the group's radical programme and encouraged its members to have shooting practice.
They spent five months in a preliminary detention where their health declined, according to their lawyer and relatives.
But in August last year they were moved from custody to house arrest after a ruling by Devayeva.

Hundreds of women had carried soft toys across Moscow during an unauthorszed 'Mothers' March' in a bid to have them freed.
Russia has frequently used its vaguely worded extremism laws to go after dissenters, opposition activists and religious minorities.
In one example, Russia officially banned the Jehovah's Witnesses in 2017 and declared them an extremist organisation.
Amnesty International said the extremism laws had been 'further extended and used arbitrarily against protected speech' in its latest report on Russia.
