This year, Mediazona celebrates its 10th anniversary. In our weekly stream, we will not only tell you about how the editorial team is currently living and what it is working on. We will also discuss the main news of the week with our guests: CIT founder Ruslan Leviev will talk about the situation on the front lines, Dossier Center journalist Ilya Rozhdestvensky will share details of a fresh investigation about Vladimir Putin's sons, and we will talk with artist Sasha Skochilenko about the situation of political prisoners in Russian colonies. And of course, stream hosts Sergey Smirnov and Tatyana Felgenhauer will answer questions from your donations.

How to write letters to political prisoners:
The most complete list of those persecuted for political reasons can be found on the Memorial website: <a href="https://memopzk.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://memopzk.org</a> Current addresses and methods of financial assistance are also published there.
If a person is not yet on the Memorial list, it is worth looking for support groups, for example, on Telegram. There is a bot on Telegram (<a href="http://@svobot_bot)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://@svobot_bot)</a> — it contains political prisoners and addresses for letters. For those who have not decided who to write to, the bot can give a random result.
There are several ways to send a letter, not just in a paper envelope. Many pretrial detention centers and colonies are connected to e-mail systems (they are then printed out at the institution itself). The two main services are FSIN-letter (<a href="https://f-pismo.ru/)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://f-pismo.ru/)</a> and Zonatelecom (<a href="https://www.zonatelecom.ru)." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.zonatelecom.ru).</a> You can also try Rodnaya Svyaz (<a href="https://rodnayasvyaz.ru)," target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://rodnayasvyaz.ru),</a> but it is connected to only a few regions.
In addition, the letter can be sent via the Rosuznik service (<a href="https://rosuznik.org)," target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://rosuznik.org),</a> this is especially relevant in cases where it is impossible to send an email to the region - volunteers will print out the message and send a paper letter themselves. This is an activist project, and it depends entirely on your donations.
If the institution is not connected to any email service, and the person is not on the Rosuznik list, the only way to contact them is to write a paper letter (it is also worth checking whether the support group organizes the sending of letters).
Instructions on how to send letters, what you can write about and what you shouldn’t, can be found here: <a href="https://delo212.ru/pisma-i-otkrytki" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://delo212.ru/pisma-i-otkrytki</a>
