[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Pushkin Club, Rights in Russia and Index on Censorship are proud to invite you to this evening in conversation with Anastasia Zotova.

An opportunity to meet someone whose name has been constantly in the news since Ildar Dadin was arrested under a new law banning solitary protests in Russia.

A journalist covering Dadin’s courageous one-man pickets against the Putin regime and the war in Ukraine, Zotova married the detained Dadin in late 2015 and continued to publicise his plight after his imprisonment in a penal colony in Karelia, where he was tortured, and his subsequent transfer to another camp in southern Siberia. Husband and wife have done more than anyone, arguably, to expose conditions in Russia’s large and brutal penitentiary system which today holds dozens more political prisoners.

The event will be held both in English and in Russian with translation.

This is a Pushkin Club event and all are welcome.
