Doctors used to inoculate themselves against the plague. I planted myself in prison." Maria Bunzler defended those involved in political cases - and now she herself received 12 years in prison for "treason". "Glasenia" tells the amazing and tragic story of a lawyer.
On November 12, a court in Kaliningrad sentenced 66-year-old Maria Bunzler to 12 years in prison. The lawyer was found guilty of "treason". Bunzler's career began back in the 1990s - when she defended the rights of conscripts sent to the first Chechen war. At the beginning of the century, the authorities often listened to lawyers and human rights activists, and hoped that the country would be able to build a fair legal system. But these hopes were soon dashed; Bunzler and her colleagues had to watch as the state began to systematically destroy human rights. After the outbreak of a full-scale war, Maria Bunzler was involved in cases of "forgeries" and "defamation of the army" - until in 2025 she herself was arrested. Glasnia's publication talks about the life of a lawyer - about her family, born in Kaliningrad, her colleagues and her clients. Medusa publishes this material in its entirety.
