Today we celebrate the anniversary of the death of one of the bloodiest tyrants of the 20th century - Joseph Stalin. From 1924 until he died in 1953, he was the leader of the USSR. Stalin organized massive political repression, dispossession of kulaks, famine, religious persecution, the deportation of peoples, concluded a pact with Hitler on the division of Europe, and then, until 1942, tried to solve problems at the front by shooting command personnel.
There are hundreds of political prisoners in Belarusian prisons right now. These people were not afraid to resist the criminal regime, and they tried to change the system of lies, one-person management, and lack of legality in the country. It is our duty to help them.
The "Country for Life" Foundation provides assistance to political prisoners who, because of their civil position, are thrown behind bars in prisons and isolation wards.
We continue the cycle of stories of people who were persecuted in Belarus for their civil position. Leokadia Koyan was a member of the initiative group of Viktor Babariko, was an observer at the presidential elections, and a volunteer in the camp on Okrestin Street. In November last year, she faced persecution from the security forces, after which she was forced to leave Belarus. Now Leokadia is in Lithuania and can tell her story.
"Send a postcard to the hero, show solidarity!" Due to a difficult childhood and a lot of psychological traumas, the mustachioed dictator sent many girls, wives, mothers, and grandmothers to prison. And our Belarusians need to be constantly supported because prison is not the best place for the beautiful half of humanity.

Pavel Spirin became famous in the spring of 2020 when he announced his desire to run for president of the Republic of Belarus and dived with the head of the CEC Yermoshina on the air. He was not registered as a candidate and eventually became an electoral proxy of Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. Pavel was arrested in September 2020 and recently sentenced to 4.5 years in prison.
