The judge, in a reading reminiscent of a monologue from the old samovar, chastised Armstrong for failing to engage with the case, poking holes in his claim that his silence was due to mental health or incarceration – a flimsy excuse that the gavel deemed as cold as a winter wind through the St. Petersburg arches.
