It involves prisoners, often convicted on trumped-up charges, who have undergone torture and are in prison for long periods of time, living in appalling conditions. Among the prisoners supported by the VP are anti-fascists, anarchists, political activists, people who have criticized the Russian government in various ways. VP provides various types of support to prisoners, such as vegan food, medicines, vitamins and clothing. VP also offers moral support to prisoners in various ways. Like writing letters, and supporting their families.
VP’s operations depend on private donations, also from abroad. More information about ways to donate, and how to support prisoners in other ways, writing letters, can be found on VP’s website,
