By the term ‘political prisoner' we mean both those serving custodial sentences and those who have been remanded in custody or placed under house arrest, or restrictions of a similar nature, before trial, as well as those subject to compulsory hospitalisation.

We include those prosecuted for exercising their legal rights as well as those who have been unlawfully, or manifestly disproportionately, prosecuted for political reasons by the authorities. We do not include those who have used violence against persons or have called for violence on grounds of religion, nationality, ethnicity, and so on. The full criteria for classification as a political prisoner can be found on our website.

The current list names 80 political prisoners,

not including those prosecuted primarily in connection with the exercise of freedom of religion, who are listed separately. The list is manifestly incomplete. It contains only those people and cases for which we have been able to collect and analyze sufficient evidence to draw a reasoned conclusion about the politically motivated and unlawful nature of the criminal prosecution. The list does not include the names of many individuals who have been deprived of liberty and in whose prosecution there is evidence of unlawful and political motivation but for whom we have either not yet received the necessary information about their cases or we are still analyzing information received.

A very wide range of victims of repressive state policies are represented among political prisoners.

The authorities use a great variety of charges to unlawfully imprison their political opponents and opposition activists. Among the victims of such prosecutions are Aleksei Navalny, who has become a symbol of resilience, his former colleagues Andrei Borovikov and Pavel Zelensky, the former executive director of Open Russia Andrei Pivovarov, the shaman Aleksandr Gabyshev, the Bashkir politician and writer Airat Dilmukhametov, the Moscow region environmental activist Vyacheslav Yegorov, the leftwing activist Darya Polyudova, the mathematician and activist of anarchist views Azat Miftakhov and others.

The historian and protector of historical memory Yury Dmitriev and the journalists Rashid Maisigov, Abdulmumin Gadzhiev, Armen Aramyan, Alla Gutnikova, Vladimir Metyolkin and Natalya Tyshkevich have all been imprisoned on various unfounded charges.

Among political prisoners there continue to be many victims of state suppression of freedom of assembly. These include the aforementioned Andrei Borovikov and Vyacheslav Yegorov, as well as the defendants in the Moscow Case related to the protests in Moscow in the summer of 2019 - Kirill Zhukov, Yegor Lesnykh, Eduard Malyshevsky, Maksim Martintsov and Sergei Surovtsev - and those convicted in the Palace Case related to the protests that took place across Russia in January and February 2021 - Olga Bendas, Pavel Grin-Romanov, Valery Yevsin, Ilya Pershin, Roman Pichuzhin, Aleksandr Federyakov, Gleb Maryasov, and Said-Mukhamad Dzumayev. Unfortunately, in the Palace Case, we have so far only been able to study the charges in a minority of the cases.

Both freedom of assembly and right of association are being infringed by prosecutions of the leaders of, and participants in, the Ingush people's movement Akhmed Barakhoyev, Musa Malsagov, Ismail Nalgiev, Akhmed Pogorov, Zarifa Sautieva, Malsag Uzhakhov, Barakh Chemurziev and Bagaudin Khautiev.

Right of association is being restricted by means of the criminal justice system. The Network, New Greatness, BARS and Artpodgotovka criminal cases, in which these organisations were unjustifiably designated as extremist or even terrorist, criminalise the legitimate activities of citizens. The names of those convicted in these cases are also included in this list.

Our list continues to contain many names of individuals imprisoned for their exercise of freedom of expression. These include Mikhail Alfyorov, Pavel Zelensky, Sergei Lavrov, Ivan Lyubshin, Darya Polyudova, Vladislav Sinitsa, Airat Dilmukhametov, Aitakhadzhi Khalimov, the brothers Salekh Magamadov and Ismail Isayev, as well as Salman Tepsurkayev who was abducted by security forces.

Our lists still contain individuals imprisoned on trumped-up charges in connection with the Russian authorities' anti-Ukrainian campaign that began in 2014: former and current Ukrainian citizens Andrii Kolomiets, Oleksandr Marchenko, Volodymyr Dudka, Oleksii Bessarabov, Oleh Prykhodko, and Russian citizens Vladimir Domnin and Aleksandr Atamanov.

Our list includes only Pyotr Parpulov and Karina Tsurkan of the considerable number of persons imprisoned on dubious charges of espionage and treason that often stem directly from state spymania. This is because of the secrecy and lack of access to the materials of most of such cases for analysis.

It is also important to note those fabricated criminal prosecutions of people who have in fact become hostages for those who are the real targets of the state machine. In addition to Russia's longest-serving political prisoner Aleksei Pichugin, these include Yury Zhdanov, the father of opposition activist Ivan Zhdanov.

As in previous years, dozens of articles of the Russian Criminal Code are being used as instruments of political repression. Articles 212.1, 284.1 and 354.1 of the Russian Criminal Code are, in our opinion, political in nature and contradict the Constitution. They should be repealed. Furthermore, put to similar use are legal provisions that are excessively vaguely worded, and impermissibly broadly interpreted, along with charges concerning the most various ‘ordinary' crimes applied by biased courts on the basis of fabricated evidence. A recent trend has been the widening of the completely unjustified application of anti-terrorist legislation.
