Kresty Prison - Saint Petersburg

The Center for European Policy Analysis is proud to announce the first season of "Russian Limbo" — a podcast looking at some of Russia’s most notorious prisons. Outside of the guards and detainees, very little is known about life behind bars in these pretrial detention facilities. As of January 2019, Russia's detention system housed 99,722 inmates not yet convicted of a crime, with many awaiting trials for months or years. “Russian Limbo” takes us inside the happenings of these veiled detention centers through exclusive interviews of those who have experienced it first-hand.“Russian Limbo" is produced in cooperation with the public historical project "It Collapsed" and hosted and distributed by the Center for European Policy Analysis.
