Alexey Navalny has appeared in court for the first time since ending a three-week hunger strike.
The Kremlin critic attended a hearing by video link to appeal against his conviction in February for defaming a World War II veteran.
In a separate court case, proceedings on whether to label Navalny's opposition network "extremist" have been adjourned.
It is a move that could ban the group and lead to activists facing long prison sentences.
