On April 13, 2026, the day after Orthodox Easter, 27-year-old Ksenia Belousova posted a video of herself using a traditional kulich as a hookah with banana shisha, sparking outrage among believers. A Moscow court convicted her under Russia's blasphemy law for insulting religious feelings, adding 200 hours of labor to her prior three-year suspended sentence for drug possession, resulting in three years and 25 days in a penal colony. She brought her baptism certificate to court, noted her family's military service in Ukraine, and begged for a fine, but was led away in handcuffs. The case highlights rare prison terms under the law, typically resulting in fines.

Acquired by the Los Angeles Lakers in February 2025 in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick, Dončić has urged the front office to build a championship roster this summer of 2026.

The Lakers are targeting restricted free agents like Jalen Duren and Walker Kessler, while navigating a thin center market and decisions around LeBron James' future at age 42. With free agency starting June 30, GM Rob Pelinka's moves will shape their contention window amid high fan expectations.
