Stage. Issue 3
We continue to publish portraits of political prisoners. They will not be told about them in a new history textbook
Peter Sarukhanov / "New Gazeta"
Already the third issue of our project of solidarity with political prisoners - “Stage”. In these lists you will find new names and information about those who have been deprived of freedom for their beliefs for several years. They are in complete isolation, and they need our support. We will not stop repeating: we must not forget about them, we must talk about their destinies constantly. Your letters, even a small postcard, give them strength not to give up and understand that they were not left alone with an evil state.

From an interview with "New":
“In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, most persons responsible for making decisions have the psychology of gopnik thinking from the 90s. They think according to the principle of "groaning, solving, bumping." Therefore, when some annoying social activist announces them, they quite naturally believe that he is “bulls”, and if so-it means that it is necessary to press him. And they sincerely do not see anything shameful in this. Not without unnecessary pathos, they love to claim that in the 90s they obscured the country from organized crime groups. And partly so. But the problem is that, displacing or defeating a particular organized crime group, they themselves took their place. Ancient Chinese wisdom: "The killed dragon himself becomes a dragon."
