A woman in the republic of Chuvashia who stabbed her husband to death in front of her children over a New Year's Day television show has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
The marital spat erupted when the man put on a comedy show which his 35-year-old wife deemed inappropriate for their two children, the regional investigative committee said Tuesday in an online statement.
During the course of the argument, the man fell to the floor and his wife stabbed him in the back with a kitchen knife, in full view of the children, aged five and twelve.
The man later died of his wounds in the hospital, the statement said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
