Who is imprisoned now

2,155 people imprisoned

Of these, 84 whose names are not known and 37 who asked that their names not be published — counted in the figure above and listed at the end.

People currently held in prison colonies and pre-trial detention centres in political, anti-war and religious cases. The database is broader — it also covers those already released, under house arrest or outside Russia: the full list.

This list follows people’s actual situation, not formal recognition. Those recognised as political prisoners by human rights organisations are a separate, only partly overlapping set.
