OLEG ORLOV after the exchange. How to protest and help political prisoners now?

In early August, Russia released 16 Russian prisoners in exchange for a killer and spies. Politicians Ilya Yashin and Vladimir Kara-Murza, journalists Evan Gershkovich and Alsu Kurmasheva, artist Sasha Skochilenko, and former Navalny headquarters coordinator Liliya Chanysheva were released. Among those released was Oleg Orlov, a human rights activist and former co-chairman of Memorial. He became our new guest. How did Orlov learn about the exchange and what happened during those days? Are similar exchanges possible in the future? Why is it important to write letters to political prisoners? How to freely protest and conduct human rights activities while remaining in Russia?
