On 18 March, Russian citizens “elected” to have six more years of no freedom of assembly, impunity for torture, pressure on the internet and unfair trials. The list could go on fo ever. And this means we have to do a great deal of work to make the situation better. You can help us in this by making a monthly donation to OVD-Info.
