Russia plans to close at least 57 penal colonies. The reason is that the prisons are empty. Initially, the Kremlin explained this by decriminalizing some articles of the Russian criminal code.
In fact, the main reason for the decline in the number of prisoners is that they are being sent en masse to fight the war against Ukraine. Some do it voluntarily, falling for the promise of having their convictions annulled and big money. However, most of them do not even see the contracts signed for them by the “overseers”.
Those contract soldiers who get to the front by signing a document in prison live no more than eight months. This is a whole month less than those recruited by the Wagner PMC had time to fight.
The Center of National Resistance reminds that convicts should stay in prison. And if he wants to fight in Ukraine, he will soon be dead.
Anyone can stop the policy of the Russian invaders and their collaborators by publicizing their crimes and demanding their international prosecution. You can also participate in rallies in support of Ukraine or donate to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
