These are people of different nationalities, During 2017, there have been at least religions, professions and political views. 18 new detentions, which, according to the Journalists, activists, farmers, miners, human rights community, have signs of directors, teachers and students are among political persecution. Such arrests mostly them. Most of them are active in the social take place in Crimea. and political life and openly express their position, some of them just turned up not at The Investigation Committee and the the right time and not at the right place. Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation are persecuting «the Kremlin’s prisoners» for fabricated charges in common criminal cases, as well as the application of so-called anti-extremist and anti-terrorist legislation, the purpose of which in this case 32 is to prosecute all dissenting persons. For of them are example, one can be sentenced to 5 years of imprisonment for stating publicly that Crimean Tatars Crimea is Ukraine. The allegations used by Russian and occupational investigative bodies -- the Investigative Committee and the Federal out of Security Service -- range from common 21 58 criminal ones to purely political such as convicting of making a public statement have already been sentenced about the occupation of Crimea by Russia. Usually, however, this means the use of in occupational Crimean so-called anti-extremist and anti-terrorist legislation by Russia. and / or Russian courts In fact, those people are hostages. And cases against them are used by Russia mainly for propaganda campaigns and discrediting 1.5 22.5 Ukraine. The presence of «the Kremlin’s prisoners,» years of deprivation of freedom as human rights activists call them, in places of deprivation of freedom in Russia and Crimea is characterized by gross violation of their rights. BEATINGS, CRUEL TREATMENT AND TORTURE OF «THE KREMLIN’S PRISONERS» Many of the detainees are subject to pressure, Since Russian or occupational authorities both physical and psychological, especially at are trying to conceal the victims of torture, it the early stages of the investigation, when the is rarely possible to document the relevant law enforcement tries to make them confess to traces on the body. But in the cases of Stanislav their guilt. Klikh, Renat Paralamov, Yevhen Panov and Oleksandr Kostenko, the defence has evidence At least 12 people, as they and their lawyers which indicate that those persons have been say, were subjected to cruel torture. tortured. The occupational authorities and the In most cases, the names of those who authorities of the Russian Federation refuse to committed beatings and torture remain investigate those tortures, practically admitting unknown. They also cannot be recognized their involvement in those violations. because security officials, as a rule, put on balaclavas for such a «delicate work». As often as not, methods of illegal physical influence include beatings, electric current, and strangulation. Among the psychological ones are threats to relatives, assurances that «Ukraine has rejected you», pressure and humiliation of dignity in various forms. VIOLATION OF THE RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL In all cases of «the Kremlin’s prisoners,» In general, the court and the prosecutor’s the right to a fair trial is violated one way or office act together as the prosecution. another. Such violations point out the illegal politically motivated persecution. There is by definition no independent justice in annexed Crimea due to the very terms of occupation. In its October 2017 resolution, the European Parliament listed Crimean «courts» also resort to retrospective 47 names, calling them «de application of the law -- they investigate and sentence in connection with events that had facto political prisoners.» taken place before Crimea was occupied. In spite of the prohibition to the occupant to Відверта фальсифікація матеріалів справи apply its own criminal law in occupied territories, Brutal falsification of case files -- even making up established in international humanitarian law, names of victims, straw witnesses unconvincing it is exactly what Russia resorts to in Crimea, witnesses to the search and unconvincing for example, by holding people criminally affiants, the evidence base manipulation and responsible for membership in organizations fake evidence planting, the unequal approach not prohibited in Ukraine. to assessing arguments of the defense and the prosecution…-- these are «normal methods» of Russian justice. LIMITED RIGHT TO PROTECTION AND PROSECUTION OF LAWYERS AND HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS In the cases of «the Kremlin’s prisoners» are the last bastion of protection for the there is a systematic practice of limiting the Kremlin’s prisoners; their role can hardly be right to protection as well as lawyers’ access to overestimated, and that is why some of them defendants. are being persecuted in connection with their In general, few independent lawyers activities. ILLEGAL RELOCATION FROM THE OCCUPIED TERRITORY OF CRIMEA TO THE TERRITORY OF THE OCCUPYING STATE This large-scale offense, which can be to the agreement between the Ukrainian and qualified as a war crime, has been lasting in Russian Human Rights Commissioners in early Crimea since the occupation. 2017, 16 convicted Ukrainian citizens were transferred from Crimea to the mainland to The process of relocating convicted Ukrainian serve the sentence for the first time in three citizens from Crimean places of deprivation of years of occupation. freedom to Russian ones is not voluntary but is violently carried out. After being convicted, Ukrainian prisoners are usually taken to Siberia or Trans-Ural. Some prisoners protest against such Despite the fact that the practice of the European relocation by causing injuries to themselves, Court of Human Rights prescribes detaining a but such forms of protest are ignored by Russia. convict as close as possible to his or her place of According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of residence, when it comes to political cases, the Ukraine, it is about several hundred people; Russian authorities do the exact opposite – they according to human rights defenders, this send prisoners thousands of miles away from figure amounts to several thousands.

INTRODUCTION The demarcation line (the line of contact)1 and the ‘grey zone’ between the government-controlled2 and uncontrolled territories3 of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions separates the parties to the conflict in the east of Ukraine. The areas controlled by the Ukrainian authorities and bordering the ‘grey zone’ are very politically sensitive, highly militarised, and fall under a special governance regime that is different from the rest of the country. In the absence of a comprehensive political settlement and amid uncertain prospects, it is unclear how long this situation will remain. It is highly likely that over the next few years, Ukrainians in areas adjacent to the contact line will live under very particular and unusual governance structures, and in varying degrees of danger.

  • Crimea and the Kremlin: from Plan “A” to Plan “B”
    Crimea and the Kremlin: From Plan “A” to Plan “B” Translated by Arch Tait March 2015 This article is published in English by The Henry Jackson Society by arrangement with Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty. CRIMEA AND THE KREMLIN: FROM PLAN “A” TO PLAN “B” 1 Reconstructing events in east Ukraine and the rationale behind them. On 15 March, Crimea marked the first anniversary of the referendum on whether it wanted to be incorporated as Part of Russia. Shortly before,Vladimir Putin signed a decree instituting a new national holiday: SPecial OPerations Forces Day. This is to be celebrated on 27 February, the day in 2014 when the “little green men” embarked on their oPeration to seize key facilities in Crimea. The day before the announcement, Russian television aired a film titled “Crimea: the Path Back to the Homeland”, in which Putin describes taking the decision to begin the oPeration to annex the Peninsula. For all that, certain details about the oPeration and the Russian president’s motives remain obscure. We could do worse than get the answer to the question of why Putin decided to seize Crimea from the horse’s mouth, from Putin’s own sPeeches. He had listed his grievances at some length in a sPeech in the Kremlin on 18 March 2014. Not for the first time, he blamed the United States for “destroying the world order” and, in his view, stage-managing a whole succession of “coloured” revolutions. His main comPlaint was about NATO’s eastward expansion, “moving uP military infrastructure to our borders.” Because of this, he argued, “we have every reason to believe that the notorious Policy of containment of Russia, Pursued in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, continues to this day.

    Stanislav Byshok Alexey Kochetkov NEONAZIS & EUROMAIDAN From democracy to dictatorship [Second edition] 2014 Stanislav Byshok, Alexey Kochetkov NEONAZIS & EUROMAIDAN. From democracy to dictator- ship. [Second edi on]. “Whoever is not jumping is a Moskal” is a chant that women and men of diff erent ages who took to Kiev Independence Square in win- ter 2013-2014 repeated trying to get warm. They kept jumping and laughing, for nobody in the ‘brave new world’ of the Ukrainian revo- lu on under Stepan Bandera’s banner fancied gaining the character of a staunch enemy of Ukrainian statehood. Mass demonstra ons of “angry ci zens” in Ukraine had objec ve reasons. This was a protest against ineff ec ve and corrupt govern- ment, against police and bureaucra c abuse of power, against unclear and dead-end policies of the President and the Government. All na onal libera on movements use the popular ideas and po- li cal sen ments that dominate the society as their posi ve mani- festo. Thus, exclusively le -wing ideologies were mainstream in the Russian Empire in 1917, radical Islamism was most popular in Arab countries during the Arab spring of 2012, whereas na onalism, also radical, turned mainstream in the Ukraine of 2013-2014. The book describes the development of Ukraine’s na onal- ist groups since 1991 un l present day. It focuses on the history of the parliamentary right-wing radical Svoboda party and the non- parliamentary Right Sector movement. The authors study the ideol- ogy, psychology and methods of poli cal struggle of these structures.
