I'm being persecuted by the authorities for my anti-war actions. Where do I get help?
This post is for everyone who does not stay silent. Every day the government finds new ways to interfere with human rights NGO's and funds' work. Despite its efforts, many NGOs and funds keep working and helping protesters.
Here's the list of organizations to go to for free legal aid or for money to pay fines:
Apologia protesta (Apologia of Protest)
Tens of Apologia's lawyers all over the country provide free legal aid in human rights violation cases.

OVD-Info
OVD-Info is a Russian human rights project aimed to fight political persecution.
In its Telegram channel one can find instructions on how to act if you are being arrested and the necessary rules of juridical self-defense. In case of arrest, they, like Apologia protesta, provide an attorney.

If you can't afford paying the fine you've got for participating in an anti-war protest you may ask a blogger nicknamed Youngmasha and her team of volunteers for help.
