Editors of the online student magazine ‘DOXA’ are currently under house arrest for criticising the Russian government.

After Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny was arrested at a Moscow airport in January 2021, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in more than 60 cities to protest against his detention. Many of them were students. Thousands were detained by the riot police, some very brutally.

To prevent students from participating in future rallies, universities and high schools started intimidating and threatening them with expulsions if they were detained at the protests.
