Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny today complained that he had been imprisoned in a “concentration camp” in a message on his Instagram account, confirming his whereabouts, after days of uncertainty.
“I must admit that the Russian penitentiary system managed to surprise me. “I did not think they could build a concentration camp 100 kilometers from Moscow,” Navalny wrote.
He clarified that he is in the IK-2 prison, on the outskirts of the city of Pakrov, in the Vladimir region, where he will serve a sentence of two and a half years.
His message was accompanied by an older, undated photo of him appearing with his head shaved.
“There are cameras everywhere, they monitor everyone and report the slightest violation. “I think a high-ranking official read Orwell in 1984.”
“But if you treat everything with humor, you can live here. “So, all this is okay for me.”
For days, Navalny’s lawyers have been trying to locate the place where he is being held, after his transfer, at the end of February, from the Kaltsugino prison.
The prison he is in is described as particularly harsh by ex-prisoners. Prisoner Konstantin Kotov, who spent more than a year there, described an environment in which prisoners have almost no free time and are completely cut off from the outside world.
