Resident of Konakovo, Tver Region. On 21 June 2023, he was charged with organising the activities of an extremist organisation due to his involvement with the Jehovah’s Witnesses community. Members of this community are prosecuted under anti-extremism laws solely for their religious activities: holding meetings and worship services, and attracting new followers. On 27 March 2025, Shchetinin was sentenced to six years in a general-regime penal colony.

How to write the letter?

Getting started

What can I write about?

On censorship: what can’t I write?

Is it allowed to send photographs?

What language do I use in my letter?

What are the limits on sending letters?

Should I expect a reply and do I have to respond?

How do I maintain the correspondence?

I would like to send letters by myself, how do I do it?

How else can I support Russian dissidents?

It says that the prisoner I was assigned was tried for terrorism, or extremism or something else scary, what’s up with that?
