How does political repression work in 2026? Why did the repressive policy of the Putin regime change? Who are the authorities chasing and for what in the fifth year of the war against Ukraine? And most importantly, how can you safely support political prisoners? Human rights activists spoke about it on the Day of Political Prisoners. Among them is Deputy Director of OVD-Info Leonid Drevkin. He talked about how the authorities persecute Russians not only in Russia itself, but also beyond its borders. Watch the conversation on the Medina and World YouTube channel. It may not be safe to share this post publicly because Russian authorities have designated OVD-Info as an extremist organization. But you can still read and love us!
