... that Russian pianist Pavel Kushnir was arrested for anti-war videos posted in a YouTube channel with only five subscribers, and became the first political prisoner to die in a dry hunger strike in modern Russia? Source: [1], first paragraph: "Pianist Pavel Kushnir died on July 28 after a dry hunger strike in a pretrial detention center in the Far Eastern city of Birobidzhan. He was 39 years old. The musician was detained in late May by FSB officers - he was accused of publicly calling for terrorism because of anti-war videos that he published on his YouTube channel with five subscribers."[2] - for "the first political prisoner to die in a dry hunger strike in modern Russia", article says that the last person who died of a hunger strike was Anatoly Marchenko in USSR in 1986.
Cited: - 1986 is modern though? Personally I would revise the hook (see below), as the first part is more interesting than the first person to die on a particular type of hunger strike in 35 years or so.
Interesting:
Other problems: - I don't think we can run "only" as it would be editorializing
QPQ: Done.

Hey, thanks for the review! In 1986 it was still the USSR, and "modern" was about the Russian Federation. But yeah, an agree that it's not necessary; I think ALT1 is fine, thanks for copyediting.
