I spent 10 years in Putin's prisons. In 2025, I was labeled a 'terrorist' for opposing the war.

🧵Now leaked Interpol files prove what I've long understood: the Kremlin has weaponized international policing into a worldwide dragnet for those who oppose Putin. [1/14]
Over the past decade, Russia has generated three times more complaints to Interpol's oversight body than any other country. More Russian cases have been overturned than those of any other nation.

[2/14]
Here's how it works: Russia accuses someone of vague financial crimes, files for a Red Notice, and suddenly that person can't rent an apartment, open a bank account, or travel without risking arrest.

What does it look like when a government can silence 90 million people while keeping itself online?

Iran just showed us. Russia is next.

(🧵Read on 1/17)
Iran’s internet blackout is a preview of what Russia’s 'sovereign RuNet' is actually for: not resilience, not 'security,' but the ability to plunge the country into darkness while the state keeps operating.

[2/17]
Protests in Iran began on December 28. By January 8, the country slid into near-total internet silence. And it’s not just news that disappears — it’s basic proof of life. Family members abroad can’t even confirm who’s alive

Imagine attacking a university you never applied to because you think you deserved a personal invitation instead of taking exams like everyone else.

🧵That's Putin with NATO — here's the reality of his paranoid excuses for invading Ukraine:
Fact: Russia under Putin never applied to join NATO. Meanwhile, every nation that supposedly "snuck up" on Russia actually waited 5-20 years to meet strict membership criteria on democracy, independent judiciary, and fair elections.

[2/10]
Not only did Putin fail to apply to NATO, he immediately started moving Russia away from meeting these criteria by dismantling distributed decision-making, free press, and fair elections.

Putin claims NATO forced his invasion.

Before 2022, the alliance was 1,000 tanks and 700 artillery short of defending just the Baltics.

It was not preparing to attack — was barely capable of self-defense. FACTS 👇
After the Cold War, Europe dismantled its military capacity at a pace no aggressor would consider. Tank numbers dropped from 19,000 to 4,000. Combat aircraft fell from 3,500 to 1,500. Nations planning attacks do not destroy their own weapons for decades leading up to war.

[2/9]mckinsey.com/industries/aer…
European defense industries had shifted to micro-production runs. France was producing just 2,000 artillery shells per month before 2022. In high-intensity combat like we see in Ukraine today, that amount gets expended in less than a single day. You cannot launch an invasion with half a day's worth of ammunition.

A Russian schoolteacher secretly filmed his own workplace as it was turned into a war propaganda machine. That footage is now part of a documentary shortlisted for an Oscar.

Here’s the story behind ‘Mr Nobody in Russia’:👇

[1/12]
Pavel Talankin spent most of his life at School No. 1 in Karabash, a small industrial town in Russia’s Urals. First as a student, later as an events coordinator, he ran clubs, filmed concerts, and built a refuge where students felt safe

Everything changed after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Within weeks, schools were ordered to implement a new “patriotic” curriculum designed to normalize war and loyalty to the state

Ukraine struck a Russian tanker in the Mediterranean last month. Cutting off oil profits is the obvious motive.

🧵 But what @dossier_center found in the crew records hints at why these ships might matter beyond sanctions

[1/13]
According to an investigation by Dossier Center, conducted in cooperation with Norway's NRK, crew lists show two Russians with ties to GRU special forces and the Wagner paramilitary group were aboard the tanker Qendil on its second-to-last voyage.

[2/13]
The tanker was hit in the Mediterranean, in the first known Ukrainian attack on Russia's so-called shadow fleet outside the Black Sea. It came just hours after Putin claimed that attacks on the fleet would achieve nothing
