Russia in a Whirlpool of Repressions: Regime Consumes Itself
Repression is tightening its grip across Russia, with no one, including regional officials, mayors, and generals, being safe from arrest and imprisonment.
A new wave of repression is sweeping across Russia, with
an explosive surge in convictions under political charges, according to the Telegram channel We Can Explain.
This surge is characterized by a significant increase in convictions under terrorism-related articles of the criminal code, with 210 people convicted in the first half of 2025, compared to 25 in the same period in 2024 and 8 in 2023.
- 26-fold increase in convictions over 2023
- 243 sentences for "justifying terrorism", nearly double that of early 2023
This trend may not yet be as severe as the 1937 purge, but it resembles the dark period from 1946 to 1953, shattering hundreds of lives.
Author's summary: Russia's repression is intensifying rapidly.
