Anastasia Gordienko’s monologue about persecution, life after the sentence, and “invisible support”

Because of anti-war statements, pensioner Anastasia Gordienko was twice prosecuted in criminal cases for discrediting the army. In both cases, Anastasia was defended by an OVD-Info lawyer, and in both cases she received a suspended sentence.

The cards feature quotes from Anastasia’s monologue about how her life changed over the years of political persecution, and what sustained her along the way. Read Anastasia’s full monologue on the website.

Anastasia is one of hundreds of people we defend. For more than 14 years, OVD-Info has continued its work for its main goal: to see a Russia without repression. Our work is like a marathon: we know we will not be able to reach the goal in a year, or even in five, which means it is important to bet on endurance and be ready for the long haul.
