The Hall of Fame of the Russian authorities’ fears. For years, we have been collecting evidence of how the state apparatus fights its own citizens, independent media, and civil society. This is a chronicle of what the current regime considers a threat — and why it hunts those who speak the truth. We have gathered the most significant cases in this "Hall of Fame": from the destruction of independent journalism and the persecution of activists to the banning of books, movies, and peaceful expressions of opinion. Each entry is a testament to the state's desperate attempt to maintain absolute control by turning common decency and objective reporting into "crimes." This is not just a list of prohibitions; it is a portrait of a frightened government that has declared war on its own people. By labeling thousands of us as "foreign agents," "undesirable organizations," and "extremists," the authorities are merely confirming their own inability to exist in a free society. Explore the records of fear. Discover who and what the Kremlin is truly afraid of. The list is being updated.
