Expert webinar was organized by ADC Memorial in partnership with the International Committee of Indigenous Peoples of Russia (ICIPR).<\/em><\/p>\n

Recently, activists and human rights defenders working on the rights of Indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, climate change, and environmental rights have faced unprecedented repression in Russia. Dozens of activists across the country were interrogated and searched, many were forced to emigrate urgently, the activists Daria Egereva and Natalia Leongardt have been under arrest for several months. These persecutions are related to the recognition of dozens of organizations and groups with ethnic, Indigenous, and regional agendas as \u201cextremist\u201d and \u201cterrorist\u201d in 2024-25. Following the same scheme, on April 9, 2026, the Russian Supreme Court recognized the Memorial movement as \u201cextremist\u201d, thus criminalizing all \u201cMemorials\u201d and all their supporters. In these circumstances, activists and human rights defenders must be prepared for the challenges and risks targeting their physical and digital security.<\/p>\n
