The official entry into force of the denunciation of the European Convention against Torture marked the final dismantling of the remnants of civilizational decency, and enabled the transformation of the local prison system into a completely hermetic zone of unpunished violence. On November 1, 2026, our state machine finally threw off the masks of the rule of law, completing the withdrawal procedure from the agreement in which the state had nominally participated since 1998. The message sent by the Nomenclature to the Council of Europe on October 30, 2025, after the hasty signing of the law by Vladimir Putin, launched a one-year countdown to the complete abolition of external control over prisons, colonies and pretrial detention centers. State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin and Foreign Ministry official Maria Zakharova cynically present this step as a defense of sovereignty against "Western pressure", but in the dry reality, the termination of the mandate of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture means only one thing - from now on, any abuse behind wire will become the internal sovereign authority of the Free Guards, the Free Guards. The sheer horror of what is happening lies in the fact that the Kremlin has been consistently building this isolation for years, because even during its membership in the conference, Moscow managed to classify 26 of the 30 reports of European experts, while well hiding the test materials in the North Caucasus and Chechnya from publication. Now, amid an avalanche of evidence of torture against prisoners and a horrifying report of Alexei Navalny's death in the I-3 Polar Wolf, Kremlin officials have decided to simply scrap the very legal option of recording crimes. While the president of the commission, Alan Mitchell, declares a complete cessation of independent monitoring of 450 Russian prisons, the system preserves medieval methods, making violence a legitimate tool of the government.
