Advent Letter-Writing to Political Prisoners

Over 10,000 people are currently facing various forms of politically motivated persecution in Russia and the occupied territories of Ukraine. Among them are men and women of all ages – including minors – and representatives of various professions, from politicians and journalists to artists and housewives. Come and show them at Christmas time that the free world has not forgotten them, and write them something festive and heartfelt and wish them Happy New Year. Alexandra Skorvid will open the event by presenting prisoners’ stories and outlining the rules for writing letters to Russian prisons. The second part of the event will be devoted to writing itself – and all that you need will be available at the venue. The letters will be translated into Russian and sent directly to Russian prison colonies.
