Anthony Perrett, one of the British Greenpeace activists arrested by Russian authorities during a protest, has been released from detention in St Petersburg.
He is the first of six Britons to be freed on bail - three Russian nationals were freed on Monday.
Thirty people, including the six Britons aboard the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise, were detained after the protest in September.
They were protesting against drilling in the Arctic.
They were initially charged with piracy but are now accused of hooliganism, which carries a shorter maximum jail term of seven years.
Greenpeace on Thursday unveiled giant portraits of those arrested - the "Arctic 30" - outside the London offices of oil giant Shell.
The protest group said it was drawing attention to Shell and its Russian partner Gazprom's planned joint venture to drill for oil in the Arctic.
John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK, said: "Shell and Gazprom are not equipped to drill in the Arctic without causing catastrophic damage to the unique ecosystem.
"But what makes their Arctic plans so blindly stupid is that they're only able to drill there because of the huge loss of Arctic sea ice from climate change."
