Imagine you are a Russian judge. What punishment would you choose for those guilty in child abuse cases?

Verstka invites you to imagine yourself in the role of a judge and hand down a fair verdict to 10 people accused of abusing children. Among them are mothers with many children, fathers and stepfathers, a salesperson, a participant in the “special military operation,” a caregiver, a teacher, and a coach.

At the end, you will find out how closely your idea of justice matches the position of real Russian judges.

All the stories are real, happened in Russia, and formed the basis of criminal cases and administrative offense reports in 2021-2024.

Verstka selected them from thousands of court rulings analyzed as part of a special project on how people are tried in Russia for violence against children.
