We are raising funds to support our work. Rights in Russia is a UK charity that publicizes the human rights situation in Russia.
Rights in Russia is a charity based in the UK that works to provide information about human rights in the Russian Federation and to publicise the work and views of Russian human rights activists. Rights in Russia was established on 19 January 2010 to mark the one year anniversary of the brutal murder in Moscow of human rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova.
Rights in Russia is registered with the charity commission in the UK. Our charity number is 1147245.
Our mission has become even more important today, given the severe repression to which human rights activists are subjected in Russia since the regime of Vladimir Putin launched its war on Ukraine. We believe the voices of Russia's human rights defenders should be heard more widely throughout the world, and that people living outside Russia should be better informed about the human rights situation in that country. We translate news and views published by human rights defenders in Russia, publish original writing about human rights in Russia, and publish a Russian-language podcast in which Simon Cosgrove and Sergei Nikitin talk to Russian human rights activists and an English-language interview in which Mary Page interviews both Russian human rights activists and Western experts on human rights in Russia. We also publish a series of videos - "25 Questions" - in which Professor Bill Bowring asks 25 questions of Russian human rights activists.
Through our work we seek to build an informed community of people in the UK, the EU, the US and other countries who support human rights in Russia. We seek to build partnerships between civil societies in Russia and the West.
