How can I write letters to political prisoners in Russia?

Legal defense during an investigation and in court, sending packages with essentials and produce deliveries — these things really matter. However, one mustn't underestimate the value and meaning of providing prisoners with moral support. Isolation and uncertainty, psychological — and at times physical — pressure would break anyone's will. But we have it in our power to support inmates who have been put behind bars in Russian prisons for antiwar resistance.

Postcards and letters are thin, but very important threads that connect prisoners with the outside world. Written communication can help someone find out about what's happening beyond the prison walls, discuss exciting news and ideas, share stories and feelings, and even learn something new.

Is it possible to write letters in English? What should I write about in a letter? How do I send it, and how do I receive a response? Answers to these and many other questions can be found in these cards.

We will now post the addresses of inmates arrested for antiwar resistance on this channel, with the tag #writingletters
