SUMMARY:Finissage – Reading and discussion ‘Letters from Russian Prison
 ’
DESCRIPTION:As part of the exhibition ‘Zone of Inhumanity’\, we invite 
 you to a special reading at the nEUROPA gallery on 23 January 2026 at 7 pm
 : Letters from political prisoners in Russian prison camps will be read.\n
 \nThese are the voices of people who are resisting – Russian citizens wh
 o protested against Putin's regime\, as well as Ukrainian civilians and mi
 litary personnel who were abducted by occupying forces and are being held 
 in Russian prisons.\n\nTheir words provide insights into everyday life beh
 ind bars\, into hope\, fear and unbroken humanity.\n\nReading with Xenia G
 orodnia\nMusical contribution by Katrin Skrzypietz (jew's harp\, hang)\n\
 nThe exhibition focuses on the increasing political repression in Russia s
 ince the beginning of the war against Ukraine\, where people are punished 
 with cynical harshness for their criticism of the war or even for comments
  on social media. Russia is setting up filtration camps and prisons for ca
 ptured civilians in the occupied Ukrainian territories. In over a hundred 
 locations\, the regime is holding more than 25\,000 military and civilian 
 hostages\, including around 20\,000 children\, in illegal detention.\n\nTh
 e photographs by Wolodymyr Ogloblin and Sergiy Zholonko\, as well as the i
 llustrations from the graphic novel by artist Sergiy Zakharov from Donetsk
 \, illustrate how today's regime in Russia has used brutal means to establ
 ish a system of political repression reminiscent of the darkest times of t
 he Soviet Union. Ogloblin's photos\, taken in the remote regions of Kolyma
  and Yakutia in the Far East\, deal in a depressing way with the legacy of
  the gulags and the inhumane living conditions of millions of people. His 
 personal diary entries show how the horrors of the past are being revived 
 by the war of 2022.\n\nPhotographs / Drawings: Wolodymyr Ogloblin (Kharkiv
  / Göttingen)\, Sergiy Zholonko (Kropyvnytskyi / Mykolaiv)\, Sergiy Zakha
 rov (Donetsk / Kyiv)\nCurated by Elena Pagel & Iryna Guziy\n\nExhibition: 
 7 November 2025 – 8 February 2026\n\nVernissage: 7 November 2025\, 19:00
 \nMusic: Varvara Nikolaienko (Mariupol / Simferopol)\n\nFinissage: 23 Janu
 ary 2026\, 19:00\nReading and discussion ‘Letters from Russian Prison’
