Interview with Evgenia Manakova, an activist from Melbourne, about the "Letters to Political Prisoners" project that she coordinates at SVOBODA Alliance NSW.


In this podcast we talk about:

  • Is it true that your letters can draw the attention of the authorities to you or to relatives who have remained in Russia?
  • How to choose a recipient and send a letter?
  • Is it possible now to write a letter to a political prisoner Alexei Moskalev?
  • What topics to avoid because of censorship?
  • How many political prisoners are in Russia now, and can the letters help them?
  • Can the actions of the opposition abroad somehow help Alexei Navalny?
