Please translate your letters to Russian for example with Google translate, as currently letters in other languages except Russian are very seldom accepted in Russian prisons.

There are currently more prisoners in the prisoner list of the Anarchist Black Cross Moscow than we are able to actively support, as well as not being able to establish or maintain contact with supporters of all of these prisoners. In case you want to support a particular prisoner via us, please write to us first in order to ask if we are in contact with the supporters of this prisoner.
