• Leaked documents reveal the Russian authorities’ crackdown on peace activism well ahead of the February invasion of Ukraine

Major recent events in Russia and Ukraine

• 🔱 We have impact: The Ukrainian military says it hit the Moskva Naval cruiser, the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, with a Neptune anti-ship cruise missile, causing “very serious damage” to the vessel. Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed that the warship suffered damage resulting in a complete evacuation, though the Navy attributed the incident to a fire supposedly caused by detonated ammunition.
• 🎹 An early ending: Police raided a cultural center in Moscow and disrupted a concert by pianist Alexey Lyubimov and singer Yana Ivanilova devoted largely to works by Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov. When officers entered the room, Lyubimov was playing works by the Austrian composer Franz Schubert. He was permitted to finish and receive a standing ovation before the authorities shut down the event, claiming that they’d received a bomb threat. In early March, the same cultural center hosted a reading of “poems against war.”
• 👮 Working for the mayor: The FSB in Kalmykia has charged a man who works for the mayor of Elista with using an office computer to post “offensive and false information about the military” on his personal Telegram channel — now a felony offense in Russia punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
• 🪖 A threat from Moscow: Russia’s Defense Ministry has threatenednew military strikes at “Ukrainian decision-making centers,” claiming that Moscow has tracked “attempted sabotage and attacks by Ukrainian troops” against targets inside Russia. “If this continues, Russia’s Armed Forces will strike at decision-making centers, including in Kyiv, from which the Russian Army has thus far refrained,” the military’s spokesman said on Wednesday.
• 🧑‍🏫 The kids are alright: In a speech to Russia’s Federation Council, Senator Lilia Gumerova complained that many Ukrainian children “from the liberated territories” don’t speak fluent Russian. She announced that the Russian authorities will organize summer language lessons and make them available to these children.
• 💰 Funding priorities: The Moscow Times found that the Russian government has increased funding for state propaganda by 3.2 times, while funding for the army has risen only 11 percent, since the start of the February 24 invasion.

On Wednesday, April 13, a district court in St. Petersburg jailed artist Sasha Skochilenko until May 31, pending trial on charges of spreading “knowingly false information” about the Russian military’s invasion of Ukraine. As reported by local news outlet Bumaga, the judge who elected to jail Skochilenko noted that the artist might hide or destroy evidence relevant to the case, that she wasn’t living at her registered address, and that she has “a sister in France,” “friends in Ukraine,” and a “friend [living] in emigration.” The judge also recalled that Skochilenko was previously charged with a misdemeanor for organizing a large-scale public gathering

🔎 Leaked documents indicate that Russia’s federal censor has been monitoring the Internet for peace activism since at least 2020 (5-min read)

In early March, the nonprofit whistleblower site Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets) published hyperlinks to a large data leak from the office of Russia’s federal censor, Roskomnadzor (RKN), in the Republic of Bashkortostan. With help from colleagues at The Intercept, Meduza downloaded and indexed hundreds of gigabytes of these data and learned that RKN started monitoring protest sentiment back in 2020, sharing daily reports with various government agencies (including the national security apparatus) about “the destabilization of Russian society.”

🛃 Ukrainian civilians deported to Russia describe forced evacuations and ‘filtration camps’ (8-min read)

On March 18, Ukrainian journalist Dmitry Gordon published a video message addressed to Ukrainians living in territories occupied or surrounded by Russian troops. He warned that there are “two types of humanitarian corridors” — those organized by Ukraine and those organized by Russia, and he urged people not to use the latter.

“According to our information, Ukrainians who leave through the humanitarian corridors organized by the Russian authorities go through severe tests. And they end up in so-called filtration camps that were created exactly like the infamous NKVD camps in Soviet times. We have a lot of information that residents of Mariupol — in particular, those leaving along humanitarian corridors organized by the Russian authorities — ended up in these filtration camps in large numbers, where they are tortured, harassed, and their fate is shrouded in mystery,” Gordon said. He did not explain where he got this information.
