"Memorial" recognized the student Olesya Krivtsov by the political prisoner

The support team of the political prisoners of the former human rights center Memorial recognized the student from Arkhangelsk Olesya Krivtsov Politzerov.

Olesya was recognized as political prisoner due to the fact that she was persecuted for an anti-war position. For anti -war statements, now she faces up to seven years in prison. From January 4, 2023, she has been under house arrest.

Her story is a striking example of how much the Russians who find the strength to openly oppose the war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine are now subjected to aggressive and diverse pressure, the memorial’s comparable statement says.
