Anastasia Shevchenko

Mother of two Anastasia Shevchenko faces up to six years in prison for taking part in a public debate with a Kremlin politician in her native Rostov-on-Don. Anastasia has been under house arrest for over 500 days.

She is accused of cooperating with an ‘undesirable organisation’ because she attended demonstrations with flags and t-shirts that were yellow.

Help Russian doctors save lives

The doctors saving lives in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic in Russia are working at their limit. But you can support them, making their work less of a struggle.

We will transfer donations to help the ambulance station in the Petrodvorets district of St. Petersburg. Employees there have been ill-equipped with protective gear, and have been forced to by their own. Open Russia also collects donations for goggles or eye shields for medical workers in St. Petersburg.

Yana Antonova

Paediatrician and mother of one Yana Antonova may spend up to six years in prison for a post she made on Facebook about a school shortage in her city, Krasnodar. Yana lost her job after the case against her was initiated.
