There are many unknown victims of the Russian penal system with left-wing views. They do not make the headlines in the media but are often being held in appalling conditions.

Like Boris Kagarlitsky, we urge supporters to spread awareness about their conditions, write letters to them and take whatever action may help free them.
We have written detailed instructions on how to send letters to Russian pre-trial detention centers and colonies.

Websites, social media channels and books devoted to building awareness about political prisoners in Putin’s Russia
FREEDOM ZONE
Freedom Zone was formed in March 2024 as an informal organisation of volunteers to help the families of political prisoners. It publicises their stories and collects donations by organising events dedicated to supporting political prisoners. It also has a volunteer design, copywriting and editing school for relatives of political prisoners so that they themselves can conduct international campaigns.
