Political Prisoners!
This webpage is a concise translation of the Russian page РосУзник [Russian Prisoner]. The purpose of this page is to provide English speaking people with an opportunity to write to the Russian political prisoners - 'prisoners of 6th May', two participants of 'Pussy Riot' group, and others. The majority of them have spent more than a year in prison without a trial, conviction, or sentence. All of them are guilty of protesting against the Russian fascist regime (see 'Reinventing Fascism').


Step 1: chose to whom you wish to write.
Click on the names of the prisoners to learn about their stories. Then see Step 2 (below the list of prisoners) for instructions on how to write and send your letter.
