Russian journalist Andrey Serafimov is facing criminal charges related to activities against the security of the state. The exact reason for initiating the case is currently unknown. Serafimov speculates that his calls not to go to military enlistment offices, published on his social media, might be the cause. Serafimov is a former head of the apparatus of the regional division of the "Young Guard of United Russia" in the Tomsk region. Since 2019, he has been an independent journalist collaborating with "Meduza" and "Novaya Gazeta Europe," as well as the author of the Telegram channel "Barkhatnaya, Street" where he covers protests related to Alexey Navalny and organizes actions in defense of students' rights. Currently, Serafimov resides outside of Russia.

The Antiwar Committee

since the war has begun, hundreds of thousands of Russians left the country. Many of them - into the unknown, without a job and savings. The Antiwar committee has founded a support group for Russian emigrants who are against the military aggression against Ukraine and don't find it possible for themselves to live in Putin's Russia.
