Solo protest by Anastasia Korshunova in Kursk, western Russia, on 9 May 2023 / Photo provided by the detainee
After the Russian authorities announced a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russians began to take part in protest actions. Many of them are demanding an end to the invasion and a return to peace. At the same time, people are being detained not only for opposing the war but also merely for criticising how it is being conducted.
