Over the six months of the RADR project “Direct Aid to Isolated, Little-Known Russian Political Prisoners and Abducted Ukrainians,” we have accomplished more together than we ever imagined.
We are not just the project team. We are a community. That means you: everyone who donates, volunteers, refuses to look away, sends words of support, writes letters, and spreads the word.
Thanks to all of you, 54 political prisoners have received assistance.
📌 From January to June 2025, together we raised — 1,150,000 rubles
— 1,046,000 rubles were delivered directly to political prisoners
— 48,800 rubles were used to cover bank and FSIN transfer fees
📈 Number of people who received aid each month:
January — 24 people
February — 25 people
March — 29 people
April — 38 people
May — 39 people
June — 45 people
👥 Since the launch of the project:
54 political prisoners have received support
Among them: 46 men and 8 women
20 of them are abducted or captured Ukrainians
💬 These people are not criminals. They are behind bars on fabricated charges — for words, for anti-war actions, for defending their country, or simply for refusing to stay silent. They need our support — now, and every day. Our help is a reminder: they are not forgotten. That we exist. That you exist.
But to continue this support, we urgently need to raise $2,500 this month. This is critical.
📣 If you want the aid to continue — join us. Every ruble, every repost, every new person in our community is part of the resistance against injustice.
